Using data effectively
in the workplace: the collection, analysis, and interpretation of data for
decision-making and problem solving within organizations. Topics include
question posing, qualitative data gathering and analysis, quantitative data
gathering and analysis, descriptive statistics, beginning inferential
statistics, feasibility techniques, and process analysis. This course will use
an extensive series of cases and problems and conclude with student projects
that demonstrate an ability to take a problem from inquiry and data gathering,
through analysis and solution identification, to formal presentation.
