EPRS 9571 - Hierarchical Linear Modeling II

3 Credit Hours
Prerequisites: EPRS 9570.
Description
This is the second course in a sequence of two courses (including EPRS 9570) designed to provide theoretical and applied understandings of hierarchical linear modeling. The foundational knowledge of HLM and the basic designs involving multilevel data are built upon for instruction in advanced applications of HLM in educational research, including cross-classified modeling, growth curve analysis, and meta-analysis. Additional instruction is provided in programming HLM software, interpreting the output from the software, and writing research reports of HLM designs and analyses. The course culminates in a research project that students may want to develop into a dissertation or other potentially publishable work.
