The course will introduce multilevel models to analyze individual change over time, as well as to analyze trial-level data from repeated measures designs. Examples will be presented in SPSS, SAS, and STATA where possible. Participants should be familiar with general linear models (e.g., regression, ANOVA) prior to attending the course.
The course is not being offered for credit formally, but students who wish to obtain course credit will need to arrange for an individual study credit with the instructor (which can occur during the summer or fall as needed). For those students receiving credit, course performance will be evaluated through an individual project demonstrating knowledge of the concepts presented in class. The topic and scope of the project must be approved on an individual basis, but all projects will take the form of a results section, complete with text, tables, and figures. This project will be due via email by the end of the term in which the credit is being assigned. Participants are welcome to submit early and receive feedback before the deadline in order to revise their assignment.
As a reminder, the University has a policy on academic honesty (see the Graduate Studies Bulletin).
ALL PROJECTS SHOULD BE DONE INDIVIDUALLY.
Any student in this course who has a disability that may prevent him or her from fully demonstrating his or her abilities should contact me as soon as possible, so that we can discuss accommodations necessary to ensure full participation and facilitate your educational opportunity.
