Course description: This course introduces students to the methods used in political science research. We will learn about the basic structure of causal analysis, with an emphasis on four basic research strategies: experimentation, “large N” quantitative studies, “small N” studies that use qualitative reasoning, and formal modeling. The primary goals of this course are:
- to provide you with analytic tools that will help you to critically evaluate social science research as well as causal arguments found in everyday life, and
- to improve your ability to pose and answer research questions.
