Prerequisites for registration: successful completion of compulsory module 4

Learning Outcome: The students are able to investigate a research question theoretically with quantitative data and to apply structure-checking procedures to test hypotheses. The students can independently carry out the most common multivariate analysis methods with statistical software, interpret the results in a sociologically meaningful way and present them clearly with tables and graphics in research reports and presentations. The positive completion of the module enables the critical reception of quantitative-oriented contributions in the social science literature. Furthermore, the participants get their first insights into the possible uses of "big data" for the social sciences.
