After years of attempting to learning but not retaining, and glazing through chapters on null hypothesis, I think I have finally reached a point that I actually understand the concept and what it looks like in data samples. This final worksheet was great to see my progress in data analysis and also key political science concepts.

I certainly rounded out by SPSS trip stronger than I thought I would. I felt comfortable in quickly swiping through functions and analyzing the data. It was amazing! I will say though, I echo a comment that was shared in class. I am still a little hesitant to think that I would be able to input and analyze my own data. Like SPSS, I think it will just take a couple times of working through it for me to slowly gain the confidence necessary. I hope our research project will turn out as well as my SPSS experience! My next post will talk more about the where my group is in the research process.
