This class familiarizes students with the tool of experimental methods. The students learn how experiments are designed to test social science theories. They also learn to identify and eliminate nuisance variables that can cause data problems. They learn to design and run their own social science experiments, and write a research paper based on the results.

The course has been divided in two parts: Math Camp and Experimental Methods

This course is part of the Master's programme in Quantitative Social Research and is compulsory for the degree students in the programme.

There are some places available for other students at the University of Tampere.

If you are interested in taking the course, please contact the coordinator of the programme.
