Quantitative Methods

Would totally recommend for beginners in the Social science research domain.

It should be complemented with reading of Neuman, Quantitative and Qualitative Methods in Social Science, which gives a far better overview of the contents of week 1 and 2 (insights into the scientific method).

A great introduction to social science methods.

I'm a philosophy of technology PhD student who was in desperate need of learning the fundamentals of social science methods and this course definitely delivered.

Would recommend to anyone that wants (or needs to) learn how to conduct and evaluate solid social science.

Great course to enhance understating of what underpins social science, research methods and potential threats that a study can be exposed to.

Good introduction to statistics and social science.

Great course for learning how to design and evaluate quantitaive studies in social science.

My deepest Gratitudes to Assistant Professor Annemarie Zand Scholten.

Annemarie Zand Scholten is just perfectly explaining the basic ideas of the quantitative methods.

I have to say thanks to Dr Annemarie Zand Scholten.

Really enriching course material and the method of explaining by Annemarie Zand Scholten.

I commend Prof. Annemarie Zand Scholten, and the rest of the team from UAmsterdam for bringing a wonderful course to the Coursera platform!

However, please be aware that the course content is very packed and that every word that comes out of Annemarie Zand Scholten's mouth is quite important, so no fillers out there.

Found Annemarie Zand Scholten's presentation outstanding.

Loved Annemarie Zand Scholten style of teaching.

I highly recommend.

A highly recommended course!

I highly recommend this seriously challenging course.

Highly recommended interesting and useful content.

Impressive and highly recommendable!

I learned a lot from it and highly recommend it!

All in all, I highly recommend this course.

Highly recommended!

Highly recommend it to anyone whose university curriculum does not include anything beyond statistical methods when it comes to teaching research methods (I'm talking to economics students like myself).

The explanations are simple and easy to follow, and cover the topics in quite a lot of depth.

I found the format easy to follow and the exercises very practical and problem oriented.

This course is well taught, easy to follow and very interesting.

Very good, easy to follow.

The course is very well organized, easy to follow and engaging.Great job!

Great course, very useful and easy to follow!

Perfect I highly recommend this course for those who want to brush up on the high-level basics of the quantitative research methods.

It is a brilliant course explaining each aspect of quantitative research methods.

This was a really solid interaction to Quantitative Research Methods.

If you are interested in a comprehensive intro-level course on quantitative research methods, you will not go wrong taking this course.

Thank you for a comprehensive introduction to quantitative research methods.

Great course both in the way is structured and in the contents I had no grounding in quantitative research methods before doing this course, although I have an undergraduate humanities degree with some background in the philosophical foundations of the course (e.g.

This is wonderful course The videos were very well done.

The videos are extremely well done and Anne-Marie makes complicated points understandable for everyone, with lively and fun examples.

Very well done: a lot of effort put into this course, and it pays off.

Well done to Anne-Marie and the other staff who put together this course :) The course convenor is lively, personable and enthusiastic, which helps keep the learner engaged and interested.

Well done to all involved.

Well done!What you did right?Illustrations.

Well done!

The lectures extremely well done, the material and assignments are challenging but not impossible and the material is presented in such a way that even qualitative researchers like myself (no know for their passion for quantitative research) can get excited about the material!

Easily understandable, clear explanations, simple examples, well done illustrative videos.

They basically consist of scientific articles peer reviews.

Maybe this is the cause why they still my work?About peer reviewing – this is not my first course on Coursera and I know, that 5 peer reviews to complete the assignment is a lot (usually 3 is enough).

Peer review system is good.

The assignments were thought provoking, the peer review guidelines clear and precise.

The staff have put in a lot of effort in creating questions and assignments which really test your understanding and knowledge with a clever marking system which always works out to give you a fair mark even when the assignments are peer reviewed.

I liked a lot the challenging tasks and peer review principal.

I think peer review is valuable, but the course seemed to rely on this activity and the articles a lot, which was a stumbling block.

The peer review section give me an opportunity to receive more different perspective which are wonderful.

Especially liked the peer review tool.

As an ecologist, it was a great first experience on social sciences.

Students outside the purview of social sciences can find it a bit difficult.A few more examples in each module could perhaps be of further help.

Great introduction into methodology and statistics in social sciences This course is very dense.

This was a great class suitable either for beginners in the social sciences or people who need to brush up on some basic concepts and theory.

I learned a lot about research design and design flaws in the social sciences.

A MUST for everyone who's studying social sciences.

As my field is Social Sciences it was my first contact and experience this lesson for the huge range in Methodology and Statistics.

As a student of Economics I have learnt a lot about the research methodology and how to conduct the quantitative research.

Learnt a lot from the course so far.

To be honest I expected a little more fro the course but I also learnt a lot.

Best course yet One of the best courses!

This course is really one of the best courses i've ever seen!

This is one of the best courses that I ever toke on Coursera.

Very well organized and executed!

However, I really appreciate how very well organized the lectures and the other course content is.

I especially liked the interviewees she brought in to give us an 'expert' or extra perspective on the topics of each week she dealt with.

Although it was a tough course but sometimes things were tough, it felt so incredibly fruitful each week.

I suggest to ask the participants to develop a product by applying the concepts they have learnt during each week and evaluate (and pass) participants on the basis of this product.
