Course Description: This course covers the statistical and econometric foundations of data analysis including the statistical and econometric theory and its applications. In particular, statistics modules broadly cover descriptive statistics, theory of probability, standard statistical distributions, estimation and hypothesis testing. Econometric modules cover the basic aspects of econometric methodology, OLS method and assumption violations (Autocorrelation, Multicollinearity and Heteroscedasticity). The specific objective of these modules is to provide an understanding of the basic concepts and methods of Statistics and Econometrics for application in data analysis, to get analytical skills required for the analysis of socio-economic data, to provide hands-on training in data analysis (along with computer applications). The emphasis is on application (including analysis and interpretation) rather than theoretical derivations. The idea is to impart training on how to make an argument based on data. Course Objectives: The course aims to help students to:

Course Objectives/Course Description |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
It would be a severe underestimation to consider Western Political Thought as just another discipline, as Western Political Thought is a testament of political creation. Western political Thought narrates the story of how to constitute an ideal body-politic, but the ideal has never been exhausted, which has inspired thinkers from Plato to Marx to articulate their own version of ideal body-politic. The course is designed to introduce students to main thinkers of Western Political Thought, to give them an idea as how Western Political Thought has developed. The course would attempt to give students a rigorous overview of Western Political thought by evoking the original text of thinkers concerned. The course would engage with texts like Plato’s Republic, Aristotle’s Politics and Machiavelli’s The Prince. The course would also attempt to develop a culture of doing a rigorous, hermeneutic way of reading a text which will also take into consideration the context into which thinkers ‘performed’ their philosophy. |
