This workshop programme, delivered online through Microsoft Teams, is perfect for students at all levels of study who are (or are about to) undertaking a quantitative research project in the university. Whether you're completely new to statistics or looking to deepen your understanding, this hands-on online workshop series will help you confidently analyse your research data.

Perfect for Beginner/  intermediate level.

These workshops guide researchers through developing a methodology and hypotheses, generating descriptive statistics, conducting hypothesis testing, and checking assumptions. You'll also learn how to perform a variety of statistical analyses using SPSS & JASP, with skills that can easily be applied to other tools. Additionally, we provide guidance on writing your results in APA format and incorporating effective tables and charts into your research project.

No prior knowledge of quantitative statistics is required. My goal is to make statistics logical, simple, and accessible for all researchers at BU, regardless of your previous experience. After each session, you'll have access to comprehensive class notes, transcripts of class, sample data and PowerPoint presentations to support your learning. Plus, you're welcome to book a one-on-one consultation with me to discuss the specifics of your own research.

The sessions will commence on Thursday 5th February from 10 am to 12 pm, and will recur every Thursday for 8 weeks through this semester (You do not have to attend all sessions).
