It begins by contrasting quantitative and nonquantitative ways to answer questions, overviewing ten potential techniques. Since all quantitative methods begin with measurement, this topic, along with validity and reliability, is covered next. The middle part of the course covers exploratory data analysis and data presentation with tables and graphs. The course ends with the issue of inference. First traditional statistical inference; then errors of inference due to measurement errors and overgeneralization of the results. PREREQUISITES: None. P/N permitted. William Hazard Education/Social Policy EDPR, B11 INTRODUCTION TO ORGANIZATION THEORY AND PRACTICE Time: MW 1:00-2:30 Office Address: 4-166 Andersen Hall Phone: 491-3713 COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course is an introductory examination of the interaction of people in organizational settings. The primary object of this examination is to acquaint the students with the nature and dynamics of the organizational setting and the consequences of the variable interactions between organizations and the people impacted by them. Much of the course will focus on defining and clarifying the key terms used in the research and practice literature. We will rely heavily on literature as the source of information but, so far as feasible, will encourage students to draw upon their experience to supplement and enrich meaning. TEACHING METHOD: The instruction will include lecture/discussion, individual and group study, small group "hands-on" field study, and individual/small group presentations. To exploit these instructional modes, it will be necessary for each member of the class to be prepared for each session. Careful reading and reflection on the assigned materials is a must for successful and productive class experiences. EVALUATION: The grade will be derived from the following elements: annotated bibliography, a field study report, quizzes, midterm and final examinations.

The goal of the course is to provide a practical and useful foundation for high quality, effective instruction that is based on an understanding of the student and his/her learning-related needs and characteristics. Toward this end, class participants will be required to complete regular reading and writing assignments, perform throughtful observations in the field, and develop and present original instructional episodes for analysis and evaluation including a final mini-lesson project. PREREQUISITES: Permission of School through the Office of Student Affairs, Andersen Hall. TEACHING METHOD: Highly varied including guided field experiences and dependent upon active student participation and involvement.
