In sum, IAT 802 is an introduction to experimental design and research methodologies where quantitative approaches are appropriate. There will be particular focus on research design for HCI and the sciences. Details and further information can be found in ...

By analysing and criticising the operationalisation of quantitative methods in these articles, we will cover issues of research design and get a sense of what each method does (and does not do), and of the type of research questions to which it can be applied.

Topics address purpose statements, hypotheses, sampling techniques, sample sizes and power, instrument development, internal and external validity, and typical quantitative research designs. Exercises emphasize the critical evaluation of published research.
