A simple online guide for beginners, with pictures and words that students can understand. Created because my undergraduates needed more instruction than what their textbooks could offer. My students needed...

• To know how to enter data and what their data files should look like.
• To see each SPSS screen as we conducted an analysis.
• To understand how to interpret their results.
• To be shown how to write about their results in APA style.

This online guide is designed for my students and for students like them.
