Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Experimental research has come to occupy a central place in the social sciences as scholars have become more concerned about making valid causal inferences. The purpose of this class is
to learn about the use of experiments in political science and related fields, develop an understanding of the experimental method (e.g., its strengths and weaknesses relative to other methodologies), and gain experience in designing experimental studies. In this course, you will gain a broad understanding of the issues involved in the design and
analysis of experiments. The course is organized into sections corresponding to some of thepractical issues that arise in experimental research.

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Five to ten page paper outlining an experimental design (70%) and class participation (30%).
