SPSS is a powerful computer package that does
statistical analyses of data. It has been developed over many
years and is like a huge house that was built in stages, in many
different architectural styles. So there may be several ways to
do almost the same thing, but it may come out slightly different in
each way. KEEP NOTES when you figure out how to do
something you might want to do again.
I'll introduce SPSS and give you handouts. SPSS also has good
tutorials and help.
Where? IS in Mac 101,
PC's in the Learning Commons, Cleveland (PC's), and Mac 110
(Macintoshes)
This
should be
sufficient for your needs, unless you have limited on-campus time or
can only get to the labs when they're busiest.
SPSS is licensed to Wells only for college computers. SPSS for your own computer, if
you need or want.
Files for the textbook problems. On the disk in your
book, and accessible from every computer on campus
with SPSS, on Morganstore:
(PC) If Morganstore shortcut is
not on the Desktop, make it: Right click on Desktop, New>Shortcut.
Type \\morganstore.wells.edu
in box, finish the shortcut wizard. Open it: Users\ssievers\MATH251
Class
Materials\Math251 IPS7e
(Macintosh, Mac 110) Open finder, choose MATH251
Class
Materials from Favorites sidebar. Wait: Morganstore
