The goal of this class is to familiarize students with some of the core concepts of experimentation pointing to both its promises andpitfalls. In the first half of the course we will consider the various ways experiments can be used to generate and test social science theories and discuss how various experimental designs can be used to achieve various research goals. In the second part of the course, students will apply these concepts to their own research questions to obtain hands on experience in the design, analysis and implementation of experiments.
