ASSESS: SPSS USERS' GROUP
ONE-DAY WORKSHOP: WRITING & USING SPSS SYNTAX
SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER, UK, WEDNESDAY 1ST JULY 2009
ONE-DAY WORKSHOP: WRITING AND USING SPSS MACROS and OMS
SCHOOL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING
UNIVERSITY OF MANCHESTER, UK, THURSDAY 2ND JULY 2009
ASSESS is an independent user group for SPSS, a computer package for analysing and
presenting data. It is run by users, for users and is completely independent of
manufacturers of the software. Between 1996 and 2008 ASSESS gave workshops on
aspects of SPSS including syntax, macros, output management system (OMS) and Python.
Two one day workshops are provisionally planned to be held in the School of Electrical
and Electronic Engineering, University of Manchester, Sackville Street, Manchester
on 1st & 2nd July 2009 led by Chris Stride (University of Sheffield) and
Peter Watson (MRC, Cambridge). These will cover SPSS syntax, macros and the
output management system (OMS).
The workshops are open to users of SPSS who are familiar with the menu toolbar
but have limited knowledge of syntax. Workshop topics are at
http://www.spssusers.co.uk/Events/2009/index.html
Both days will be taught in an interactive hand-on workshop-style format,with frequent
examples and exercises for participants to work through. A full set of notes and
exercise solutions will also be given to all who attend. If participants have
SPSS-related queries relating to their own data which they wish to explore, both
tutors will be willing to (at least attempt to!) answer these at the end of each day.
Dr Chris Stride is the statistician at the Institute of Work Psychology,
University of Sheffield, and has over a decade of experience teaching both
statistics and SPSS to non-statisticians.
Dr Peter Watson is a statistician at the MRC Cognition and Brain Science Unit in
Cambridge, has been teaching SPSS for non-statisticians for 15 years and has
given three talks to the SPSS users group. Chris and Peter led one day SPSS
workshops at the Universities of Birmingham, Sheffield and Anglia Ruskin, Cambridge
in 2007-2008.
Each day will run from approximately 9-45am to 4-45pm. The booking fee includes
mid-morning coffee, buffet lunch and afternoon tea each day but not overnight
accommodation. Further details will be sent out to delegates upon receipt of
booking forms.
