Workshop for Researchers: Displaying your data

The UGA Statistical Consulting Center (SCC) announces its inaugural short course, “Exploratory Data Analysis in Excel”. This two hour mini-workshop will be open to faculty, staff and students from Franklin College. The recommended audience is researchers who are new to quantitative research, and who want to learn some simple methods for understanding and displaying data in Excel. A background in statistics is not required.

This hands-on short course includes discussion that will

•         Review different types of data used in quantitative research

•         Calculate and interpret basic statistical summaries appropriate for different types of data (NO statistical tests)

•         Create graphical displays of data such as pie charts, histograms, bar charts, and scatter plots, appropriate for summarizing different types of data

This short course will be held on Tuesday, July 29, from 2:30 to 4:30 pm in room 307 (computer lab) in the department of statistics. While there is no fee for the workshop, space is limited to 30 participants so registration is required. Directions and further information will be provided at the link below to register. You may email Kim Love-Myers at krlove@uga.edu if you have difficulty registering or have any questions.
