This course will build on students' previous foundations in probability, statistical inference, and linear regression. An introduction to generalized linear models (GLMs) and multilevel (mixed effects/hierarchical) models will be followed by additional advanced topics at the discretion of the instructor. These will include special cases of GLMs and multilevel models and may also consider measurement of latent variables (e.g. factor analysis, IRT).

For those who are or plan to be program personnel or consultants in nonformal education and human service programs. Planning and proposal development and how to improve its contribution to program success.

In this class, students will experiment with the tools for writing history for a general audience. We will cover the structure of various types of historical writing, the sorts of research that support a convincing argument, the audiences writing must attract, and the common writing errors that weaken prose. Several guest speakers will talk about their own approaches to the craft. During the semester, students will hone their writing and editing skills as they develop their own projects and comment on those of their classmates.
