Previous Workshop Recorded Sessions
Workshop: SPSS Part 1
This "hands-on" workshop is for participants who have never used or feel out-of-date with the statistics package SPSS.

The SPSS I Workshop will cover the basics of this package. A recording of this session is available. (Intended for Faculty and Graduate Students)
Workshop: SPSS Part 2
A "hands-on" workshop for faculty and graduate students who want to know how to create and use syntax files for SPSS for Windows.
