ASSESS: SPSS USERS' GROUP
ONE-DAY WORKSHOP: WRITING & USING SPSS SYNTAX
CARDIFF BUSINESS SCHOOL (ABERCONWAY BUILDING)
UNIVERSITY OF CARDIFF, UK, THURSDAY 8TH JULY 2010

ONE-DAY WORKSHOP: WRITING AND USING SPSS MACROS and OMS
CARDIFF BUSINESS SCHOOL (ABERCONWAY BUILDING)
UNIVERSITY OF CARDIFF, UK, FRIDAY 9TH JULY 2010


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 2009 ASSESS gave
workshops on
aspects of SPSS (SPSS) including syntax, macros, output management
system (OMS), Python,
R and survival analysis.

Two one day workshops are provisionally planned to be held in the
Cardiff Business School,
University of Cardiff on Thursday 8th & Friday 9th July 2010 led by Chris
Stride (University of Sheffield) and Peter Watson (MRC, Cambridge).
These will cover
SPSS (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 and an on-line
booking form are at
http://www.spssusers.co.uk/Events/2010/workshopannounce.html.

Both days will be taught in an interactive hands-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.
Participants can book to attend either or both days.

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 16 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, Manchester and
Anglia Ruskin,
Cambridge between 2007 and 2009.

Each day will run from approximately 9-45am to 5-15pm. 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.
