Statistical analysis can be a powerful tool for understanding social, educational, psychological, and developmental processes. In this course, we will learn to answer such questions using multiple regression analysis, to develop an understanding of the strengths and limitations of this approach, and practice communicating results clearly and accurately. By the end of the semester, students in this course should be able to critically examine published research using regression and carefully perform their own regression analyses using empirical data. Recommended prerequisites of EDUC 8230 or another course in basic statistical methods.
