This course is designed to build upon the student’s existing research and analysis skills by focusing on more advanced topics in social data analysis. Our approach emphasizes statistics as tools for solving research problems associated with understanding urban life rather than as an end in itself. The course provides a hands-on approach to statistics through the use and analysis of Statistics Canada datasets. The city and urban issues remain our focus as we explore modern statistical applications. Lect: 3 hrs. Prerequisite: SOC 481 Course Weight: 1.00 Billing Units: 1
