EDUC 493 Workshop in Design and Analysis of Comparative Studies
Units: 1 - 3 Grading Basis: S/NC Repeatable for credit
Times: Thu 3:15 PM - 5:05 PM Room: 160-317
Instructor: Rogosa,David R
Course Description (butchered in the Registrar version)
For students, second year and beyond, with data analysis or research
design activities (e.g. dissertation planning or analysis) who have had
intermediate-level statistical methods coursework.
Course activities will be driven by the student research activities,
with readings and exercises developed around those topics. Past topics arising from student work include: mediating/moderating variables, multilevel data analysis,
usefulness of structural equation models (path analysis) and
implementation of matching methods and regression adjustments for
comparing non-equivalent groups. A variety of computing customs can be accommodated, but R is encouraged.
Instructor note: I renamed this course as: "Workshop in design and analysis of comparative studies" because designed experiments fit this course as well as do the (more common) observational, non-experimental studies.
