Use of statistical software continues to increase and therefore, an introductory level course will be offered if sufficient enrolment can be attained. The course is designed to introduce SPSS features to individuals who have not used the software before. It will start at a very basic level covering the menu, tool and status bars then moving onto the data editor, Output Window, Chart Window and inferential statistics. In the last area of inferential statistics the course will cover the Statistics menu and use examples of exploratory analysis, regression and analysis of variance.

This course will introduce students to both descriptive and uni-variate inferential statistical procedures used commonly in social science research. The emphasis for this course, however, will be on the application of these procedures in the spreadsheet environment of Microsoft Excel. Three different aspects of statistical reasoning will be emphasized: (1.) computational formulas and assumptions, (2.) spreadsheet applications using Excel, and (3.) appropriate uses of these statistics. The topics we will cover include descriptive summary statistics, correlation, regression, t-tests, and analysis of variance (ANOVA).
