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.
SPSS is licenced to Wells for a limited number of copies (it is a very
expensive package). It is on all the computers in Mac 101, and on
at least one of the Dells in the Social Sciences Lab (Mac 304)
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
for your own computer, if you need or want.
I'll introduce SPSS and give you handouts. It also has good
tutorials and help.
