Info:
Please download the data files and unzip them beforehand, and place them somewhere easy to find on your computer. Slides will be uploaded after the course. The slides are quite detailed. So instead of taking notes, we recommend to focus on active participation in SPSS.

While our courses are primarily reserved for UiO employees, external participants are also welcome if there are available seats in the course.
