This course provides an advanced examination of research design in the social sciences. Building on prior methodological training, students explore major debates, motivations, and challenges in social research. The focus is on developing the ability to critically evaluate research methods and findings—understanding what can and cannot be inferred from specific designs. Students gain a broad foundation for the critical consumption of contemporary research and, for those interested, the preparation to produce evidence-based knowledge.

Prerequisite(s): SOC 225.3 (or equivalent) and SOC 232.3.
Note: Students with credit for SOC 332.6 may not take this course for credit.
