Canceled: Reading Math for the Social Sciences

November 2, 2023 at 12:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Free
Centre For Scholarly Communication

Social science research often treats statistics and its models as a series of black boxes. This can lead us to using incorrect tests and misinterpreting their results. Instead of treating math a set of abstract methods, this workshop will focus on reading math as a language with a specific focus on assumptions, probability, and linear models (t-tests, ANOVA, linear regression, etc.). This is a minimal-math introduction to interpreting math for social science researchers who want to feel more comfortable with the tools they use in every study.

This workshop is part of our Research Excellence Workshop Leader Initiative (REWLI). To learn more and see the full list of offerings, please visit: https://gradstudies.ok.ubc.ca/professional-development/research-excellence-workshop-leader-initiative/
