This class in applied data analysis explores questions about social relationships, organizations and community at Mount Holyoke College. Students use archival, observational and interview techniques to collect data, and they explore basic questions about research design, data analysis and visualization for making sense of their materials. The class works with the Mount Holyoke College Archives and an organizational partner on campus to define research questions.
Prereq: 4 credits in Sociology.
