Intro SPSS

Friday, 10/9; 1:30-3:30pm; CSSSI Classroom

SPSS is a flexible and user-friendly statistical software package known for its graphics, quick assessment tools and easy programming language. SPSS also works directly with Excel files. Widely used in all of the social sciences, SPSS offers add-ons which enable qualitative analysis, missing values analysis, and Survey design. This class offers a very basic introduction to the application GUI and coding mechanisms. Basic statistical understanding is expected but not necessary.
