Sociology Department Offers Data Analysis Class
The Department of Sociology and Criminology will offer the course Social Data and Analysis SOCI 3303 (four credit hours) during the Summer I session, May 31 to July 1. The class will be offered through in-person and remote delivery.
Organizations in diverse industries are hiring data scientists in a hurry. Labor market experts project a sizable gap between supply and demands in terms of recruiting talents with data analytic skills. SOCI 3303 Social Data and Analysis offers a powerful and timely class to fulfill such increasing needs of data scientists. This five-week summer session course starts with basic statistics, moving on to univariate statistics (central tendency and dispersion measures) and completing with bivariate statistics (crosstab, ANOVA).
To learn such critical skills of data analytics, take my class SOCI 3303 Social Data and Analysis during the first summer session, May 31 to July 1. This is an in-person class, but students can elect to take it remotely using class webpage for lecture notes and Blackboard for grades and video streaming through Zoom. This is a four-credit hour class that has a lecture (teaching statistical skills) and the lab (teaching statistical package SPSS). It has a prerequisite, General Sociology SOCI 2013, or with instructor consent. We basically welcome anybody who is interested in the subject. More questions before making a decision? Feel free to contact me via email: yangwang@uark.edu. I look forward to seeing you in the class.
Instructor: Song Yang in the Department of Sociology and Criminology.
