Both quantitative and qualitative research methods will be studied in research designs from single-subject designs through group designs to the evaluation of practice. Students will have the opportunity to pursue classroom and other experiences, read and critique social work research and to actively engage in the research process. Evaluation of social work practice strategies will be infused in all sections of the class lectures.
