On the last day i will show a slide with some of the key (cid:862)take-aways(cid:863) from the class. (of course i think that stuff is important!) Be able to pro(cid:448)ide (cid:862)flesh(cid:863) to these ge(cid:374)eral state(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts. For i(cid:374)sta(cid:374)(cid:272)e, (cid:271)e a(cid:271)le to illustrate the alignment/divergence of objective and subjective assessments of a problem with concrete examples. Similarly, be able to show that you know the meaning of a selection effect by providing a concrete example. Race and immigration (having multiple indicators of a phenomenon is good. )
