Institutional Learning Outcomes: Critical Thinking and Investigation Students apply critical thinking skills as they develop a conceptual and practical understanding of a variety of data analysis methods commonly used in psychological research. Students learn the underlying rationale for the major statistical methods and evaluate various experimental designs to ensure appropriate application of a given statistical test to a particular dataset. Students practice articulating and applying a variety of statistical methods, including descriptive statistics, correlation, t-tests, chi-square, and ANOVA, in order to derive meaning from diverse datasets. Students practice using critical thinking skills to assess the validity of a variety of statistical claims they are likely to encounter in their everyday lives. Prerequisite: PSYC 1110 and PSYC 1210 or permission of the instructor Note: Students may only receive credit for one of PSYC 2100, PSYC 2101, BIOL 3000, BUEC 2320, MATH 1200, SOCI 2710, SOCI 3710, STAT 1200, STAT 1201 or STAT 2000.
