Présentation
Modalités
Methods of Teaching:
Interactive Lectures:
The course will employ interactive lectures to introduce key concepts, theories, and methodological approaches. Engaging discussions and real-world examples will enhance students' grasp of theoretical concepts.
Case Studies:
Real-world case studies of successful political science experiments will be analyzed to provide practical insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with different experimental designs.
Hands-On Exercises:
Students will engage in an hands-on exercise to apply theoretical knowledge, designing experiments, analyzing data, and addressing ethical considerations. These exercises will bridge the gap between theory and practical application.
Student Presentations:
The final modules will feature student presentations of survey experiment proposals, fostering a collaborative and participatory learning environment. Peer review and constructive feedback will enhance the quality of students' research proposals.
Through these teaching methods, the course aims to create an immersive and dynamic learning experience, enabling students to emerge with a solid foundation in experimental political science and the confidence to apply their knowledge in future research endeavors.
Evaluation:
- 10% class participation;
- 50% class presentation in modules 11-12;
- 40% closed questions exam at the end of the course.
Ressources
<b>Materials:</b>|| Materials for each module, including relevant readings and excerpts from the book "Experimental Political Science and the Study of Causality" by Morton, Rebecca B., and Williams, Kenneth C., will be distributed by the teacher before each session. The materials will include only peer-reviewed experimental-based papers published in international political science journals and they will be in English. These readings will complement the course content and provide additional insights into the theoretical foundations of experimental political science.
