PCN 335 Research Design
The course is designed to introduce students to elementary concepts in research and social science literature. Coursework focuses on the mechanical aspects of designing and writing research projects. Students with particular interests in statistics and publishing papers may obtain direct training in these areas through ancillary courses offered within the broader program. Participants in the research design class explore ethical standards, means for deriving viable study/research material, stages in developing a research paper, along with issues of reliability and validity. Although the primary emphasis is on quantitative research, students have opportunities to review qualitative approaches as well. Prerequisite:
