Editing Quantitative Methods for Communication (Spring 2022) (section)

= Required resources and texts =


== Readings ==

Required texts: 
* Salkind, N. J.  (2017). Statistics for people who (think they) hate statistics (6th ed.).  Los Angeles, CA: Sage. 
** ''Note'': I believe that you should be fine with one edition newer or older than this one, too. Just make sure that the topic matches up with what the syllabus says.

You also will be assigned readings from online resources; these readings are listed on the course schedule of this syllabus (below) and links are provided in each lecture’s folder on the course Brightspace site.  Readings from the text and online resources will be covered in the midterm and final exams.

== Technology == 

Smart phone or laptop to complete in-class Hotseat participation questions.


We will be using the statistical software SPSS for most of the labs. SPSS is loaded on all Purdue lab computers. In a pinch, you may be able to access it via goremote (https://goremote.itap.purdue.edu) but in general using the lab computers will be simpler and faster.
