In general, homework will consist of your using SPSS to analyze a data set. There will be a set of directions as to what data set to analyze and which analysis technique(s) you will be using.

Some individuals may have a PC and wish to do the analysis at home. This is fine and this is why a copy of SPSS-PC student version is available for you to purchase at Beck's bookstore. For those who wish not to purchase SPSS- PC for your home machine, you may complete your work at any of the computer labs within our network.

Finally, the analysis is usually only one part of the homework. After the analysis is completed, you will copy the graph, table, or other analysis output to a word processor. Now, this is the point where you will be asked to describe and interpret the results from your analysis. The format for your written work is:
