Students analyze quantitative data through the application of descriptive and correlational statistics and practice the appropriate communication of research results by graphing, interpreting, and discussing psychological data. Prerequisite: PSYC 1110 and PSYC 1210 or permission of the instructor. Note: Students may only receive credit for one of PSYC 2110 or PSYC 2111.
