Rationale
This course will meet our goals of giving our students access to quantitative methods. We are simultaneously proposing a change to Area F to require students to take two quantitative methods courses, and to include this course as one of the options. In response to comments from COSS Faculty Council, this is a revised syllabus. The Learning Outcomes were changed to more clearly align with terminology found in Bloom's Taxonomy. Similarly, the language of some of the class assignments has been adjusted (e.g., Structured Commentaries, Problem Sets, etc.). As a 2000-level course, student learning will be focused on Remembering and Understanding fundamental statistical concepts. By the end of the course, students will begin transitioning to Applying knowledge using anthropological datasets.
