Course Description:

 

This course is designed to introduce students to= some of the common approaches, problems, and obstacles to performing research in= the social sciences, and in particular, trying to implement and successfully execute a research plan or design, as well as collect data.  To some extent, then, the course is concerned with the “practical” as well as the “theoretical.”  Th= is course is not a statistics course though we may touch on some statistical problems and techniques as part of our discussion.  Where we can we will demonstrate by example by drawing on your own research experiences or mine, and also doing some simple original research.  Students will be required to participate in class discussion = as well as to do short presentations of class readings.  Students will also be expected to perform a number of simple “experiments” as part of their class work.

 

Course Reading:

 

        &= nbsp;   As has often been noted, there is no single text that is perfectly suited to o= ur purposes, though many books could serve as basic and advanced source books.  The text assigned for = this particular semester covers many of the issues we’ll be touching on an= d is also relatively cheap!  The te= xt is:

        &= nbsp;   David de Vaus, Research Design in Social Research (London: Sage, 2001)

The book “should” be available at the campus bookstore but feel fre= e to order it from Amazon or some other source if not. Feel free also to draw on other texts (such as Earl Babbie’s) to supplement your reading/understanding.

 

        &= nbsp;   Other readings will be posted to BBoard or given out as handouts. 

 

Course Requirements:

 

<= span style=3D'font-size:11.0pt'>1.      Students are required to attend all classes (nat= urally – it’s a grad level class).

<= span style=3D'font-size:11.0pt'>2.      Students are expected to have read the assigned readings prior to class, to be prepared for class discussion, and to= participate in class discussion.

<= span style=3D'font-size:11.0pt'>3.      There will be a number of “homework” assignments to complete during the course of the semester.

<= span style=3D'font-size:11.0pt'>4.      There will be one in-class exam on the last d= ay of class.

Course Grading:

 

The breakdown of grading for each piece of work = will be as follows:

= 1.      Four assignments worth 15% each

a.      = Experimental design exercise

b.      Survey exercise

c.      = Observation exercise

d.      Content Analysis exercise

= 2.      Class presentation and participation worth 20%

= 3.      In-class final worth 15%

= 4.      Human Subjects Test worth 5%

 

Course Grades will be distributed as follows:

 

Final Average&nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;            Final Grade

        &= nbsp;   90-100 %       =             &nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;            A

        &= nbsp;   80-89 %       =             &nb= sp;            =             &nb= sp;            =   B

        &= nbsp;   70-79%        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;            &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;            &= nbsp; C

        &= nbsp;   60-69%        &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;            &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;            &= nbsp; D

        &= nbsp;   Below 60%      &nbs= p;            &= nbsp;           &nbs= p;            &= nbsp;         F

 

Course Policies:

 

1.      Late papers: Don’t turn papers in late unless there is a very good reason for doing so.

 

2.      Incomplete Requests: Such petitions will be granted only in extraordinary circumstances. The instruct= or reserves the right to ask for documentation to verify the problem preventing completion of the course by the normal deadlines. If the student does not present documentation from a university office or official, the matter will= be left to the instructor’s discretion.

 

3.      Honor Code: Any written work for this class will= be checked electronically through on-line databases to assess the originality = of the work.  Regarding plagiarism, the NIU Undergraduate Catalog states: “students are guilty of plagiarism, intentional or not, if they copy material from books, magazines, or other sources without identifying and acknowledging them. Students guilty of, or assisting others in, either chea= ting or plagiarism on an assignment, quiz, or examination may receive a grade of= F for the course involved and may be suspended or dismissed from the university.”  The ab= ove statement encompasses the purchase or use of papers that were written by others.  Please note that the instructor retains copies of papers written in previous years. In short, students are strongly advised to do their own work and learn the rules for proper quoting, paraphrasing, and footnoting.  There are many online and campus resources to help students with this.

 

4.      Students with Disabilities: Under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, NIU is committed to ma= king reasonable accommodations for persons with documented disabilities. Those students with disabilities that may have some impact on their coursework for which they may require accommodations should notify the University's Center= for Access-Ability Resources (CAAR). CAAR will assist students in making appropriate accommodations with course instructors. It is important that CA= AR and instructors be informed of any special needs during the first two weeks= of the semester.
