SOC SC 430BCommunity-Based Research II

Part two of two-part series. Focus on data analysis and writing of final report. Working in teams, students develop data analysis plan, identify units of analysis, develop coding scheme, determine statistical inquiries, and conduct data analysis (including statistical analyses of quantitative data and coding of qualitative data) and interpretation of results. Work is divided fairly among team members with each team member contributing based on their skills and talents. Teams work closely with instructors and organization agents on all aspects of research and write-up. Students are expected to attend all meetings at research sites, team meetings, and weekly class meetings on campus. Each team produces and submits final research report to instructor and community partner.
