I know that I have been slacking on the blog posts this semester, but I hope to make up for that in these last few weeks that we have before the class ends. I remember how I felt about SPSS before I had even begun to play around with it. I assumed that it would be more of a Microsoft Excel type of program that I used during my time in Math that Matters 1&2. However, I would quickly come to realize that it is so much more than that and more useful. Excel can only do so much in terms of graphs and charts and analyzing. Now I am capable of running regressions and analyzing multiple variables and understanding what they are trying to tell us. I hope to use this program more in the future with more relevant information to something at that point in time because I feel that seeing myself analyze something in real-time for something that is relevant in my professional career will feel ten thousand times better than analyzing the variables in the packs provided by SPSS.
