SPSS 1: Getting Started (online)

SPSS 1: Getting Started (online) In-Person

IMPORTANT: All RDS Workshops will be offered solely online for the remainder of the Spring 2020 semester. 

To avoid possible technical issues with using Webex live, this workshop will no longer be given live. Instead, you can view the recorded workshop here:

https://mediaspace.gsu.edu/media/SPSS+1+Workshop/1_buse4i0s

At the end of the recorded workshop, you will be given the check-in link for attendance purposes.

  • You will NOT need to install any data software to attend the workshop -- you will not be doing any hands-on work during the online workshop but instead will be watching the workshop instructor demonstrate the software/tools. 

This workshop is the first of a three-part series on SPSS. SPSS is a statistical software package that is widely used by scientists throughout the social sciences for analysis of quantitative data.

Please note: This workshop focuses on using the point-and-click method for using SPSS; the syntax/code method will be introduced briefly.
