| 150078120 | QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH METHODS 1 | This course will prepare students to identify characteristics that pertain to the internal and external validity of a given experiment. Given a research question, the student will produce a research design which meets minimum criteria of internal and external validity. The student will produce a research design as well as a final project that will allow observation of an “experimental effect” from a management science, statistical, or artificial intelligence methodology viewpoint. The student will be able to design and carry out the appropriate analysis through a program package. | 3 | - | 3 |
