Welcome to Social Work 300 Computer Applications

SOWK 0300. COMPUTER APPLICATIONS. 1st and 2nd Semesters. Lect. 3, 3 credits. No prerequisites. Provide hands on introduction to real-world computer applications in the social and behavioral sciences: Word-processing, spreadsheets, management information systems, data base systems, and statistical analysis (SPSSx). Data analysis is emphasized. Students work on a local area network and the Internet.

This course seeks to develop in students a set of cognitive abilities that are common across Social Science based disciplines and professions. These have been referred to as critical thinking skills, as problem-solving skills, and as quantitative reasoning skills. For the purposes of this course, those notions were combined to form what we call the Quantitative Problem-Solving Model, which consists of four steps:

1. Problem Definition

2. Data Collection

3. Data Analysis

4. Communicating Findings
