Aims, contents and method of the course

The objective of this class is to make students acquaintance with basic theoretical and practical statistical and quantitative research concepts in communication research. After the completion of the class, students should be able to plan and construct most commonly needed quantitative analyses in our field based on their own quantitative research designs.

The content of the class will generically cover fundamental mathematical processes for all statistical tests.

Students will be proficient interpreting SPSS outputs, creating tables ready to be published in academic journals, and discussing as well as interpreting most common quantitative findings in our field.
