Another title: Secondary Analysis of Survey Data, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).

A term paper consisting of an original analysis and interpretation will be required. No previous experience with the computer is assumed. Prerequisite: Soc. 202* or permission of instructor. \ 2 hour seminar, Fall term.
