Dear Listserve Members: We are beginning to implement a two-semester course plan for our undergraduate methods courses. All students will be required to take a Introductory Social Science Methods course in the Fall, which provides an overview of both qualitative and quantiative methods. Then, in Spring semesters, we will alternate semester-long courses in either quantitative or qualitative methods.
I am wondering whether those of you who follow a similar course plan can recommend texts that would be appropriate for the semester-long course in quantitative methods. (For the Intro. course, I have been using with good success a combination of Babbie's 'Basics of Social Research' and Strand and Weiss' reader 'Experiencing Social Research.') So far, I have been able to find texts for use with our semester-long course in qualitative methods, but have been unable to find texts with a sole focus on quantiative methods, that do not go too heavily into statistical analysis and are appropriate for undergraduates. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. - Jan Buhrmann =============================== Jan Buhrmann, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Sociology Illinois College [EMAIL PROTECTED]
