    Description

    This course familiarizes students with a range of data collection and analysis approaches in communication research, with a focus on designs and strategies that go beyond the most common standard methods. Emphasizing the relationship between data access, methodological choice, and analytical possibilities, it encourages critical and creative thinking about how we study communication.

    The students should have a solid understanding of (quantitative) methods and be familiar with funamental statistical approaches (e.g., regression analysis).
