Data Analysis and Interpretation (aka Stats I & II)
ED 734B Data Analysis and Interpretation (Two 2 unit courses)
Course Description from syllabus for both semesters:
Provides skills in the use of principles and methods for both descriptive and inferential statistics. It includes a study of measures of central tendency, variability, position, and relationship. Basic distributions, such as the binomial and normal, are introduced. The course focuses on an introduction to such inferential techniques as chisquare, the analysis of variance and covariance, and multivariate analysis. Both parametric and nonparametric procedures are included. The course will also emphasize how descriptive and inferential approaches can be applied to the interpretation of data. Students will be expected to utilize appropriate statistical software.
Professor: Dr. Farzin Majidi
Reading Materials
Custom book (Madjidi) based on “Understanding Statistics in Education by Popham and Sirotnik”
I ordered the Popham book (Understanding Statistics in Education - Popham & Sirotnik
)
since I figure I'll need to refer to it later. Besides, it's cheaper
than the coursepack ($24 vs $27) and I get the whole book, not just
excerpts!By the way, I noticed that Linda Polin recommended this book on Amazon...read the reviews!
