Be sure to make up any missing blog posts and email me your final project paper by May 12!
Consider any aspect of your project that might be analyzed using quantitative methods. If you feel that your project is not susceptible to such an analysis, choose a recent news article which cites some statistics in its argument.
How can quantifying this aspect of the issue help to inform your research?
What makes it meaningful? What intellectual, cultural or political controversies might arise from such an analysis?
Given the above, how would you operationalize this aspect of your analysis?
What would constitute a valid sample for your analysis?
How might you obtain that sample?
What are the potentials for bias in collecting your data? How might these be used to your advantage?
Given the above, how difficult will it be to guarantee the representativeness, accuracy, and meaningfulness of such an analysis?
