Course description and aims
In this course, students will study research methods frequently used in the fields of cognitive, quantitative, and information sciences.
Through presentations by students, we will learn the foundation of statistics, multivariate analysis, data processing, the use of software, the methods of paper writing, and presentation.
This course aims to cultivate the students’ abilities to: select a proper methodology from various mathematical methods to cooperate with real problems; decide what necessary data is; develop an active research plan.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Understand the characteristics and merits of various mathematical methods.
2) Select proper methods for practical complicated problem-solving.
3) Develop a scientific research plan which is appropriate for objects and goals.
Keywords
research methods, statistics, research design, classification, discrimination, multivariate analysis
Competencies that will be developed
| ✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | ✔ Communication skills | ✔ Critical thinking skills | ✔ Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
Class flow
In the first half, the students investigate the basis of mathematical methods. In the second half, as an application of the numerical method, students will present us how to use each analysis method.
Materials will be distributed on the day.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)
To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
Textbook(s)
Nothing required.
