Textbook
Field, A. (2017). Discovering Statistics Using IBM SPSS Statistics, 5th Edition, North American Edition. Sage Publications. The book is available on-line at the publisher's website, at Amazon and probably other places. The sage site also contains a link to the companion site. You should be familiar with the contents in Chapters 1 and 2 for the first class (see module 0). This should be a review for you.

Software
We will be using the statistical software SPSS in class. Output will be provided for exams. SPSS has a fairly straightforward user interface. SPSS is available through Harvard Computer Services, or you may obtain your own copy. Instructions for accessing and using SPSS will be provided, as well as links to helpful support sites.

Live Proctor:

For people who are interested in getting a proctor for exams (instead of doing it via-proctorio) and would like more information, here is a useful link: https://www.extension.harvard.edu/exams-online-courses

SPSS Practice:

For people interested in their own research or practicing with SPSS:

Site that provides free access to public use datasets: https://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/.

**Use of ICPSR is not necessary for this class.**

Note: You can search by topics, or key words that are of interest. Once you've narrowed down the search, you can click on a dataset and actually see a list of all of the variables included in the dataset. Please pay attention to if the datasets are labelled "public use." A majority are, but some require filing for access through the IRB, which require credentials and ability to properly handle confidential data (I recommend not using those). These datasets will be labeled "restricted." To download the data, simply click the "Download" tab and then select "SPSS" in the drop down menu.

If you're looking for datasets to practice with to boost your SPSS knowledge, you can find and download all of the datasets referenced in the textbook at the following website: edge.sagepub.com/field5e/stu..
