Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Helping students succeed in quantitative analysis courses is often very difficult. Students may underestimate their quantitative abilities, students may have little or no previous methods training, and because methods courses are quantitative courses in the context of often largely qualitative departments, it may prove difficult to create a dynamic that ensures that each student is successful. By drawing on literature from educational psychology, I demonstrate how teaching to multiple learning styles and intelligences can help create a dynamic that makes it possible for each student to have an equal chance at success and a high probability of mastering the material. By teaching methods courses in a way that reaches students of all learning styles, we can overcome math-phobia, heterogeneity of previous experience with quantitative topics, and help each student succeed. Herein I describe the literature on learning styles and multiple intelligences, and then discuss pragmatically how to apply this literature in the quantitative political analysis classroom. I term this paradigm the "Multiple Methods, More Success" model, because I have found that by teaching to multiple methods, we can ensure more student success.
