Offered: Fall

Last listed: 1988–89

No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1985–86 to 1988–89 (before that, 1970–71 to 1974–75 used the number for History of Modern India); the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.

This course will introduce students to quantitative analysis of historical data. After a brief introduction to basic SPSS statistical programs, students will develop a research scheme and analyze machine-readable historical data.

As printed in the 1985–86 to 1988–89 calendars, read by OCR; the scanned page is the original.
