Final assignment

I completed and submitted the final assignment by the deadline. I did good work -  I like how the assignment turned out. It was more work than I expected (it took a little longer than I expected). I based my expectations on the fairly short description/requirements for the assignment. It turned out that there were were quite a few challenges.

One challenge: some of the results were "strange" and I took my time interpreting them. For example, in one of the tables/output, there was no value for a variable because it was "redundant." Another challenge: I ended up with a long paper - over the page limit the professor likes. It was much longer. I removed lots of pages with SPSS output. I tried to include only the important diagrams/charts and tables (I liked quite a few of them).

This blog helped with the write-up of Part B (of the assignment). A lot of the information was still "fresh in memory," but I could look back at the issues I encountered and my thoughts on the topics in the course.

It is the end of the course!! The time went by quickly. I hope I get a really good grade for the paper so that I get an A for the course.

Week 3 assignment submitted

I completed and submitted the assignment early this morning. I planned to (and wanted to) submit yesterday, but that did not work out. Yesterday, my birthday, I was out and about. I had lunch with family, went shopping, and so on. It was a good day!

The assignment was very interesting. For the SPSS part, I did some experimenting, which led to some surprising results....

Started week 3 assignment

Today, I worked on the week 3 assignment for several hours. Just one assignment this week, but it is a long one. I worked primarily in SPSS....

SPSS for week 2 assignment

I completed the SPSS charts/diagrams for the assignment. Now it is on to the analysis and write-up.
I used the trial version of SPSS I signed up for last time. I think the student version is now available (for me - rather than for a class). I have to obtain details.

 

Examples of output:

I uploaded output files to GoogleDocs...

Week 1 assignments submitted

I submitted the assignments just before the deadline last night. "It came down to the wire" as they say. I was busy yesterday (I was out with my folks and even moved the remaining stuff from my apartment) & so did not spend the time I anticipated/expected on the assignments. It all worked out though.

Part A & other work

I worked on Part A for several hours. I am getting close to the "final product."
I am ready to work in SPSS, but cannot because I do not have access to SPSS (I did not receive the information/email, program, or whatever it is IBM is supposed to provide). I used a trial version of SPSS for the Statistics I course so downloading another trial would be a problem. I will look into options - maybe use my aunt's computer for a new SPSS trial version/period.

Almost done with Part B assignment

The part B assignment is almost finished. It is available here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_E-dnj6-tg2Ml9ESkQ1Sk44alk/view?ths=true

After completing, I will move on to part A and then C. Hopefully, I the SPSS part will not require too much time (less than a day).

Working, working, working

The file at the end of yesterday now uploaded to Google Drive along with files I created for Parts B and C of the week 1 assignment. Yesterday, I filled out the online form to request SPSS (through the school) and am hoping I am up and running by the start of tomorrow. I have to use SPSS for Part C.

I am about to work on "polishing up" my research question(s) and hypotheses. Making progress...

New course

My new course - Statistics II - starts today 6/19/2017. The course seems really interesting. I will be using SPSS.

Three assignments due this (the first) week. Ready, set, go!
