I think that Chapter 2 in SPSS statistics is just the same as chapter 1 in terms of it  is super easy to follow. However, it feels like the training wheels were taken off in this chapter and there was a lot to learn. I think for the most  part I remembered everything that I learned in Chapter 1 without having to go back to review it, which is  always nice. Usually  my problem with technology is I will look up how to do something, or someone will teach me, but it never sticks and I have to continuously look up how to do it. For example, how to do a screen shot on a Mac. I have looked it up over 30 times, but yet sometimes I still forget. In this chapter we learned a couple of  different things it was a lot to learn, but I wouldn’t call it information overload.

I did all the reading and tutorial stuff for this chapter first, then went back and did the worksheet at a later date. I was very happy and surprised to find that I remembered how to do most things with just the little  instructions that are given in the worksheet questions. It is encouraging because that means the book is  doing a really good job teaching the material, which is pretty rare to find. I personally did not have any problems with the worksheet problems that we did I think that they are pretty state forward.

My one question would  be that if someone just asked me to find certain variables, or statistics would I know where to go and what tools to use without having any instruction? My goal by the end of this semester is to have such an understanding of SPSS statistics that I do not need step-by-step instructions.
