IT Training
IT Training, e-Learning Support Services, has taken the initiative of designing workshops for training faculty and graduate students in statistical packages such as SPSS. These workshops have not been designed to teach basic statistics. Participants should know basic statistics in order to take these workshops. Class will be limited to 15 participants and will meet for 2.5 hours.
Now available: SPSS Free Training Workshops. SPSS Statistics 20 is a comprehensive packet for analyzing dataset. It can import data from almost any type of file and use them to generate descriptive statistics, tabulated reports, charts, plots, and complex statistical analyses. SPSS Statistics makes statistical analysis easy for the beginner and more convenient for the experienced user.
If you are interested that students in your department attend these workshops, please email at-training@ufl.edu. A reply will be sent to schedule a meeting with your students and to plan future workshops. Training sessions will be carried out in the HUB Room 221. Phone: 352-392-4357, Option 6.
