Foreign Perspectives

The numbers were well down with the tutorial on Saturday with only two of us there at the start and one arriving later.

The focus on this tutorial was mainly on the types of psychology experiments that can be done and the broad statistical analysis that you can do once the data is in. It probably surprises a lot of people but there is a considerable emphasis on statistical analysis in psychology and one of the texts that we have is quite a chunky one on SPSS which is used in at least one assignment and also in the summer school.

What I’m wondering is whether the drop-off in numbers is due to the recent assignment or if it’s just down to the Christmas season.
