My 502 Research Methods Class


One of my most demanding classes this semester is the PAF 502 Research Methods Class. The class primarily focuses on utilizing regression analysis for social research and the use of the Stata software.

Regression, by virtue of its nature is not an easy topic to master. I have to often reread chapters just to get a basic understanding of the material. As if the readings are not enough time consuming we also have weekly quizzes. However, I have to admit that at the end of the semester I am happy that I got the opportunity to learn regression in the context of social issues. As an MPA student I believe that the PAF 502 class has not only improved by analytical skills but also broadened my understanding of social dynamics.
