Quantitative Research Methods - Design and Analysis in R (FSL) (Seminar)

Dozent/in: Jakob Weers

Termin:
 14-täglich | Freitag | 14:15 - 17:45 | 07.04.2025 - 11.07.2025 | C 14.202 Seminarraum

Inhalt: The course introduces statistical methods that are relevant and applicable in different contexts, e.g., for employee surveys, market research, finance, surveys in the political arena, sociology, marketing and advertising research, etc. The course also provides a solid methodological understanding for all students who want to write an empirical bachelor thesis. The course covers quantitative methods and provides an understanding on research designs, psychometric properties of tests, and statistical analyses (regression, moderation, mediation, t-test, etc.). It also takes a first look at the use of mixed-method approaches (combination of quantitative and qualitative research). Furthermore, the course provides an introduction to running statistical analyses using the software R. Students will work on practical use cases from different fields (incl. data from entrepreneurship training programs in developing countries), learning different tests and methods step by step. Basic knowledge in descriptive and inferential statistics is advantageous but not necessary. The interest in the subject, however, is more important. The course is relevant for students from all faculties.
