[Air-L] Suggestions for SPSS training

[Nadia Dresscher-Lambertus]

Hi Katie,

I don't know of any online training. What helped me in my own work and made
it fun is a book I read that made it so simple:
Andy Field's Discovering Statistics Using SPSS

http://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Statistics-Introducing-Statistical-Method/dp/1847879071/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305750084&sr=8-1

<http://www.amazon.com/Discovering-Statistics-Introducing-Statistical-Method/dp/1847879071/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1305750084&sr=8-1>It
made all extra courses irrelevant!

Just a golden tip!

Kind regards,


Nadia Dresscher
