Are you planning to go to graduate school or do research in the future? If so, you will need to learn about mediation and moderation analysis—the study of why and when effects exist, respectively. They are essential to your toolkit if you want to create a compelling scientific theory. In this class, you will grow in three domains:

R
Scared of R? An expert? Either way, you will improve your programming ability in a low-stakes environment. You will make cool visuals and analyze models using user-friendly packages.

Scientific reasoning
Discuss the challenges of establishing cause and effect in social science and how we can do better.

Data analysis
Learn to fit models to data and analyze the results in a range of topics including workplace discrimination, mental well-being, parenting practices, and more.

Whether you're interested in science or want to make it a career, this class will help you get ahead of the curve!
