Description

An appreciation of the range, utility and meaning of quantitative research techniques is a fundamental part of the planner's methodological training. This course provides an introduction to basic techniques of data collection and analysis, introductory statistics and survey research. The course is structured around a series of lectures, supplemented by readings, exercises on questionnaire design, and computer exercises to familiarise students with Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) for Windows. Most of the SPSS exercises make use of real, planning-related data sets. Instruction is through lectures and computer laboratory sessions.
