INFO 6010 Quantitative Research Method for Information Science.
[pfd of Shortened syllabus]

This is the first course in a two-course sequence on quantitative research methods (INFO 6010, INFO 6020) in Information Science. This course will introduce information science scholars to quantitative research concepts and techniques in preparation for independent research. The two-course sequence aims to teach you to understand and confidently apply various statistical methods and research designs that are essential for information science research. This quantitative course series will not teach you data analysis and interpretation – there is simply not enough hands-on time in a two-course series. Rather, it will introduce you to the tools and their application. It is an expectation that further study will be necessary to become an expert in the research, statistical and measurement techniques in your field of study. This comes with both education and professional practice.
