Other Information
This course is being redeveloped.
This course uses SPSS software (included with the textbook package).
SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) is a data management and analysis product. Among its features are modules for statistical data analysis, including descriptive statistics such as plots, frequencies, charts, and lists, as well as sophisticated inferential and multivariate statistical procedures like analysis of variance (ANOVA), factor analysis, cluster analysis, and categorical data analysis. SPSS is particularly well-suited to survey research, though by no means is it limited to just this topic of exploration.
