In this course, students will conduct a data analysis project of their choosing from start to finish and present their findings to the class. They will explain key elements in non-technical language, showcase relevant statistics and visualizations, draw appropriate conclusions, and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of their analysis. Prerequisite: POLS 201 or equivalent.
