Learning outcomes |
The student should be able to obtain a sample to carry out a project, describe the sample data, summarize the information by presenting it through graphs or numerical quantities. S/He will also be able to calculate probabilities. The student will be able to use the SPSS statistical package to conduct descriptive data analysis.
At the end of the course, the student should be able to:
- Understand and apply statistical methods used in the analysis of different types of data.
- Use computer programs to allow the statistical analysis of real data.
- Produce and organize the results of a statistical analysis of real data.
- Analyze and critique studies and/or articles in the area of Sociology, which are in accordance with the programmatic contents.

Teaching Methodologies and Assessment Criteria |
1st Test 7 values
2nd Test 7 values
Work 6 June 6 values
- A student has frequency and can go to the exam if he has at least 6 values in the EA, that is, in the sum of test 1 + test 2 + work;
- A student is exempt from the final exam if the sum of the two tests plus the work in the EA is equal to or greater than 9.5 values and has a minimum attendance of 30 hours.
- Students who obtain a classification greater than 17 values must submit to a supplementary test. In this test, the classification can be maintained or reduced, depending on the student's performance. If you do not attend, the minimum classification of 17 values will be ensured.
