Title: The key to successful number crunching
Product review: As a person in higher education, I have witnessed the common occurence of students needing to use SPSS for their Intro Stats classes, but not knowing how to get started or if they are using the program appropriately. After looking at other manuals to provide this assistance, I really believe that this manual is the best one out there! It has nice algorithmic steps for the application challenged and it provides nice examples to help ensure that you are using the appropriate tests. Since the SPSS program is so user friendly, students may go pal mal through the program and not fully understand what tests they are running and what their output means. I think that this manual provides a nice bridge for this potential gap.The manual is in need of a rewrite however, as the SPSS program has been updated since the books release. I would also liked to see some samples of how to interpret the data output for a couple of the tests.
