I'm currently doing my graduation in Brazil, and at my university, there's a pretty intense rivalry among the professors. Some of them do quantitative research and advocate for neoinstitutionalism, while others do qualitative research and are Marxists. I know it sounds super cliché, but they genuinely don't talk to each other. If you bring up a "rival" professor's name in class, the professor will literally stop their lecture to defend their own theory.

Personally, I just find it funny, but other students get really upset about it. I'm curious, what is it like in other countries? Is there a similar feud at your university? And do you take a side?

Hi guys, i recently joined the social sciences course (which includes political science) and i want to learn the R programming language. Do you have any course recommendations, whether free or not?

I already know some things, but I would like to learn how to do research using R, I imagine that a course that combines classes on quantitative methods would be useful.
