Undergraduate Course
WiSe 19/20: Introduction to Political Science: Theories, Methods, Research Design
Christian Lammert
Comments
The class is an undergraduate-level introduction to empirical research in social science. Students will learn how to pose focused research questions, develop answers with theoretical frameworks, formulate and refine concepts, construct valid and reliable measures, and finally to gather data. While other methodology courses teach students how to analyze data, this class emphasizes development of research questions and gathering high quality data for answering them. My goals are for students to understand 1) different styles of political science research, 2) the primary methodological issues surrounding each style of research, and 3) general standards for evaluating research. This course is only an introduction to these subjects. Mastering the application of research methodology - and understanding how to deal with the substance and art of the discipline - comes through repeated application and experience. close
