Jeff,
I agree with several of the previous posts regarding the integration of stats and
methods.In many ways, I think it is a more important question than the order of the
two courses. I've had the opportunity to teach stats and methods independently as well
as integrated. My conclusion is th

We require students to take a statistics course from the Mathematics
Department as a prerequisite to our research sequence. The math stat course
has an algebra requirement. Our Research Methods I course covers typical
subjects in research, with an emphasis on experimental designs. For the

Yes statistics is a prerequisite, something that I argued very

Jeff,
I would favor statistics as a prerequisite for a methods course. However, I
teach a two-semester Research Methods and Statistics course that integrates
statistics with methods and design. For example, after we explore the
design of a simple experiment (one IV, two levels, one DV), we move
Jeff, we require statistics before experimental for the reasons you
stated; that is, they are expected to conduct a research project,
analyze their data, and write up their report/or present it. We have so
much to cover in experimental, we cannot spend time teaching stats. In
addition,

Here, it is a prerequisite only for Psych majors. Non-psych majors can e
Here statistics is integrated into a two semester research methods course.
There is no other statistics requirement, although I encourage my advisees
to take statistics as their math course for liberal studies.

At SWT we do have stats as a pre-req for our Methods course. In theory I
can see why this is a good idea, though I have to admit I'm not sure about
the real benefit in practice. It seems like they forget almost everything
from stats before they get into my Methods course... perhaps I just feel

We too, have stats as a prerequisite for methods here at UC. I concur with
Mike's sentiments below.

We have stat as a prereq to methods. At times, I have thought that it
should be the other way around. Having exposure to research designs first
would provide greater relevance to statistial analysis of those designs. On
the other hand, if research is presented as an attempt to explain v
Dear Tipsters,
In reply to Jeff, here is our sequence:
Major
Stats 1 (up to t-test, including chi-square), followed by Methods I
Stats 2 (correlation, anova) taken with Methods 1
Honours
Stats 1 followed by Methods 1
Stats 2 taken with Methods 1
Then Methods 2
Stats 3 (multivariate) for cert
13 matches
