121-231/331 Statistical Methods in the Social Sciences

Note:

Students in Geography should note that, in addition to the units listed here, the Departments of Criminology, Political Science and Psychology offer third and fourth year subjects about social science and policy research methods. These would be very helpful to them within geography and in employment. Students intending to proceed to honours in geography should not do this subject. Students cannot receive credit for both this subject and 121-342 Research Design in Geography and Environmental Studies due to overlap in subject content.
