We’re excited to announce the launch of a new workshop series, SPSS Micro, coming January 2025! This series provides a statistics tune-up in the SPSS software so you can correctly analyze your U of G research data. “We offer workshops like these to help researchers—who may still be developing their skills—learn the tools and techniques properly. We're hoping to provide a centralized resource that any researcher on campus can use to hone their skills,” said Dr. Lindsay Plater, data analyst, Research & Scholarship.
In these interactive 30-minute workshops, you’ll learn:
- How to effectively use SPSS to conduct statistical analyses correctly
- How to identify data types to determine which is the most appropriate statistical test.
- How to conduct a range of quantitative inferential statistics from start to finish, including assessing the assumptions of the test, and determining whether you need the parametric or the non-parametric version of the test.
Attendees can expect to receive a copy of the dataset and the slides so you can refer to them at any time.
“Learning how to do statistics correctly and learning how to use a new software, or brushing up on this skill, is exceedingly useful for any researcher who is working with ‘numbers-data’,” said Plater.
Who are these workshops for?
- These workshops are open to everyone within the U of G community, including graduate students, undergraduate students, faculty, instructors, researchers, and staff.
