“I completed the summer school’s sequence on time series analysis in January 2019 and was very satisfied with my experience. The courses were rigorous and allowed us to learn about some of the most advanced issues within the method. I was first exposed to time series at the summer school, and left with a solid basis from which to expand my use of the method.”

“I attended the IPSA-USP Summer School in 2018, before defending my dissertation prospectus and going to Tunisia for field research. Two most important data collection methods that I was going to use were interviews and a special survey with local election candidates. Classes I took at the IPSA-USP Summer School were tailored exactly to my needs: Over two weeks, I took one class in interview research and one class in survey design, the tools and insights from which I used extensively during my field research. Friends I made and stories I collected (I now have great stories about the Guaruja beach!) made the whole experience even better! Strongly recommended!”
