Quantitative research skills
It is nowadays inescapable for professionals of any kind to have a minimum understanding of statistics. On the other hand it is not necessary to be a statistician in using and even analyzing quantitative data as long as you have basic knowledge of statistical inference or what we may call 'statistical thinking'. The goal of this course is that students learn how to deal with statistical information, how to interpret the outcome of statistical tests and even how to analyze data by hand as well via a statistical program. This will be done in a context of practical research questions.
