SPSS Options :

1) Use SPSS in FIU Computer Labs: Location and Hours
2) You can download a demo copy from SPSS for 14 days from
http://www.spss.com/downloads/Papers.cfm?ProductID=00035&Name=SPSS_Base&DLType=Demo
3) Rent
 a copy of SPSS Grad Pack for 6 months ($80) from http://www.e-academy.com
4)
You can purchase SPSS if you wish, but I would not recommend it. If you are doing your own
data analysis soon, then purchase SPSS Grad Pack  at http://www.journeyed.com/
Do not purchase the SPSS student version.  It is limited in what it can do.
5) If you are working for a professor who does not have SPSS, you may be able to ask them
to purchase it from UTS for $21. FIU UTS Software Link


Grading:  This is a PASS/FAIL course. 
To PASS you must:

1) attend 4 of 5 of the class sessions for the entire class session; and

2) hand in CORRECT assignments for 4 of 5 of the class sessions.
   All assignments are from the text and from Green/Salkind website above.

If you have NOT completed correctly 4 of 5 assignments by April 17, 5 PM, BUT have completed
correctly MORE THAN than 2 of 4 assignments, you will receive an INCOMPLETE.
If you have completed correctly 2 or fewer assignments, you will receive an F.
