- Abstract:
Students investigate the difference between qualitative and quantitative measurements and observations. By describing objects both qualitatively and quantitatively, students learn that both types of information are required for complete descriptions. Students discuss various the characteristics of many objects, demonstrating how engineers use both qualitative and quantitative information in product design.

- Abstract:
Students expand upon their understanding of simple machines with an introduction to compound machines. A compound machine a combination of two or more simple machines can affect work more than its individual components. Engineers who design compound machines aim to benefit society by lessening the amount of work that people exert for even common household tasks. This lesson encourages students to critically think about machine inventions and their role in our lives.

- Abstract:
This course introduces some of the basic research tools in the political scientist’s “tool kit” and discusses why and how certain tools are used to explore certain phenomena. Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to: describe the relationship between the scientific method and political science; formulate research questions, theories, and hypotheses; describe the basics of the standard research approaches in political science; evaluate the soundness of a research design; perform basic statistical analyses; execute basic research in the political science discipline. This free course may be completed online at any time. (Political Science 251)

- Abstract:
This module presents students with a number of problems related to statistical sampling and data. In particular, students are asked to demonstrate understanding of concepts such as frequency, relative frequency, and cumulative relative frequency, random samples, quantitative vs. qualitative data, continuous vs. discrete data, and other key terms related to sampling and data. The module is based on the module Sampling and Data: Homework from the textbook collection Collaborative Statistics by Susan Dean and Dr. Barbara Illowsky; additional problems have been added to the original module.

- Abstract:
This graduate seminar introduces an emerging research program within International Relations on territorial conflict. While scholars have recognized that territory has been one of the most frequent issues over which states go to war, territorial conflicts have only recently become the subject of systematic study. This course will examine why territorial conflicts arise in the first place, why some of these conflicts escalate to high levels of violence and why other territorial disputes reach settlement, thereby reducing the likelihood of war. Readings in the course draw upon political geography and history as well as qualitative and quantitative approaches to political science.
