Title
Methods of Policy Analysis
Course Description
Students will gain exposure to quantitative and qualitative methods of inference with the emphasis on the application of these methods for policy analysis. The overall course objective is to make students conversant in quantitative and qualitative methods that might be employed in policy analysis, how they function, and the strengths and limitations of each approach. Students will apply this methodological understanding to their team-based learning and professional practice courses in the spring. Students will also be able to recognize bias, omitted variables, and measurement error when receiving analysis for more informed decision-making.
