Unit Name: Quantitative Research Methodology

Description: This course is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of quantitative research methodology and methods. Quantitative research primarily involves the use of surveys, sampling, and statistical analysis of numerical data to draw conclusions about larger populations. Also, students will learn about the research process involving a series of steps from start to finish. Students will be given the opportunity to explore research planning and design, sampling and data collection, and data analysis. This will give students first-hand experience by designing a small-scale study based on their own area of interests, collecting, and analyzing data and in turn sound interpretation of data. The advantages and limitations of quantitative research will also be covered in this course.
