Week 2: Representative Surveys

Overview

Before jumping into public opinion, we start with an overview of the MIDA framework presented in the textbook.

The MIDA framework approaches research design as a series of steps that can be encoded and, therefore, interrogated. This helps us think about how the results of a study may have changed if we had altered elements of its research design.

The lab assignment for this week will be a guided introduction to R.
