Pick any research question answer the question with data we have. Soc222 with objective of final project think about what research project you want to do. Labs help think about what you"re interested in, expose you to data and do stuff with data (step by step) Extend knowledge of soc222 in a different/application way. Data for lab and data for project different. 3 data set for project under lab. Eg of what is the kind of idea behind what we will be doing. Do same logic as published research and what they do with regression. We are interested in measuring data operationalized. Think about crime and equality variables that can measure that. The real world is not same as textbook messy. Settle for measures that can best measure what you want to do not everything is that neat in real world. Generally qualitative people do their own research and generate their own info.
