This course provides an introduction to statistical reasoning with a focus on educational contexts. You will learn how to reason from uncertain empirical data (as is often the case when dealing with school/classroom data) and how to apply this general and fundamental intellectual method in the social sciences. You will also learn how to use a variety of tools (SPSS, Excel, and TI-83 Plus) to perform data analysis on personal computers and to interpret and write results sections based on the analyses. (Gen. Ed. R2)
