Description
The genesis of this guide started at a meeting between PKSOI and the Department of Distance Education (DDE) at the Army War College (AWC). During this meeting, a discussion occurred in which we all realized that neither the resident nor distance courses of study require a statistics or research methods course. However, as part of the directed study we were discussing, we were finding that some students were quite interested in using statistics and survey questions. Further, we began to reflect back on our own student advising experiences and noted that a simple guide, to be used as a refresher or quick study, would be very helpful.
