The following is a tentative schedule of the topics that will be covered in our regular methods training seminars. We will discuss the required readings explicitly, some of which come from the books listed above, while others are available as PDFs on the Box folder for the course. We will not necessarily cover all of the suggested readings in class (those marked as “suggested further reading” below), but they are there for your interest and further reading, or we may require them on an individual basis based on the particular needs of your project. All of these readings are designed to help you effectively implement your project, and as such, you will spend a lot more time implementing them than reading about them. However, a conceptual foundation from the reading and discussion is a critical prerequisite.
