Title:
Mobility From Different Cultural Perspectives
Project Description:

Students from UF and HWR Berlin will work together in groups to analyze the issues surrounding mobility.  A questionnaire will be used to collect the data.  The group discussions should lead to decisions as to which aspects, including culture-specific aspects, should be included in the data analysis.  Each student will create and record a two minute presentation of their analysis.

The aim of the course is to combine intercultural experience with the development of technical skills.

 

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the project, students will:

  • Show increased awareness of selected topics in an intercultural context such as mobility.

  • Make use of a questionnaire to collect data.

  • Identify variables for investigation.

  • Compile a data set.

  • Recall the basics of data analysis.

  • Demonstrate knowledge of descriptive statistics. 

  • Utilize simple linear regression to analyze data and identify correlations.
