This course is an introduction to modern theories and methods of survey sampling. Students will learn and practice techniques in order to become an informed contributor to a complex survey project on which they might work, to conduct a more limited survey on their own, and to appropriately analyze survey data that has already been collected. Students will learn enough to help you decide whether a survey was properly carried out or properly analyzed, and whether its conclusions are credible. Throughout the course, we will use data from current sources to illustrate the applicability of the concepts of the course to other fields of study.
