SPSS
Lab activities and some homework assignments utilize the statistical package SPSS.Youwill need to have access to this programto complete labs and some homework assignments. Attempt to get
access to SPSS immediately.Failure to be ready and have access to SPSS does not excuse you from deadlines.
There are two ways to access SPSS:
1.Computer Labs:SPSS is installed in every ITaP computer lab on campus.
2.Personal install:SPSS can be installed on a personally owned computer via Community Hub at: https://communityhub.purdue.edu/storefront/ .
