Spring Seminar, Zentralarchiv für Empirische Sozialforschung, Universität zu Köln
24–28 march, 2003
The
aim of the PC sessions is to present the applications of the methods and
concepts taught during the lectures. Students attending the practical will be
able to apply these methods as a routine job. The applications will imitate
real social science research situations. A special emphasis will be put on the
interpretation of the results. Such everyday but rarely mentioned problems of
survey practice as defining categories, the impact of collapsing categories,
dealing with empty cells will be also discussed during the practical.
Latest
versions of SPSS and Excel will be used. One of the objectives of the practical
is to introduce the students into SPSS categorical data procedures.
