A zip file containing the word documents and data file for the "SPSS Workbook for New Statistics Tutors". The workbook and associated files provide self-study training for tutors to carry out key topics in SPSS but assumes the new tutor is able to interpret the output. This was contributed to the statstutor Community Project by Ellen Marshall (University of Sheffield) and reviewed by Jean Russell (University of Sheffield). The solutions and datasets needed are contained in the resources entitled “Solutions to SPSS Workbook for New Statistics Tutors” and “Data for SPSS Workbook for New Statistics Tutors”.

This guide contains information on a wide range of popular statistics learning resources, used within a statistics support context in Higher Education (HE) in many Universities across the UK. The information could be used to identify a suitable resource for a student, to assist with the CPD of statistics support tutors or indeed to determine which book/resources to download/purchase for a mathematics support centre.
