  • Review the SPSS Windows (Data, Syntax, Output, and Help)
  • Enter data into the program
  • Navigate and edit a spreadsheet
  • Explore the Menu Structure
  • Run statistical programs
  • Create graphs... and more!

Hands-on exercises will familiarize participants with the program. The University of Miami has a site license for the program and it is available for download by authorized users.
