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. In 1996, 2000 and
2002 ASSESS gave one-day workshops on the subject of SPSS macros and
syntax and last year ran three day workshops on syntax, macros and output.

Two one day workshops are provisionally planned to be held in the Helmore
building, Anglia Ruskin University on 26th & 27th June  2008 & repeated at
the Business School, University of Birmingham on 10th & 11th July 2008 led
by Chris Stride (University of Sheffield) and Peter Watson (MRC,
Cambridge).

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/2008/workshopannounce.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 a three day SPSS workshop at the University of Sheffield in 2007.

Each day will run from approximately 10am 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.
