Flipping POLS 421: Methods of Political Inquiry

The redesign of POLS 421: Methods of Political Inquiry will be crucial in meeting the upcoming needs for an upper division social science statistics course. Currently the course is able to meet the needs of the approximate 25 Public Administration students in the fall semester who need the course for their major, but beginning in AY 2014-15 all Criminal Justice students (approx. 500 majors) will be required to take POLS 421 as well. POLS 421 will be redesigned using a ‘flipped’ model (e.g., primary instruction occurs online prior to class attendance).
