This course provides an opportunity to think about and to practice the most common statistical methods for doing research on political behavior. A major goal of this course is to provide practice with quantitative methods you have learned in earlier classes and offer additional exposure to statistical software used commonly by employers. Most importantly, the course will provide students with more exposure to what quantitative research on political behavior looks like, how to construct theories, how to assemble evidence, and how to relate theories and evidence through empirical testing.
