It’s all about the numbers, baby! Quantitative methods part 1.

Overview

This week, we will cover everything numbers. We will begin by covering the basics of quantitative analysis (e.g., central tendency, variability, probability, means, normal distributions, etc.) and how we might measure those. We will cover various quantitative designs (e.g., quasi-experimental, descriptive, correlational, etc.) for answering quantitative questions and the tools that can be employed.
