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.
