Výukové metody
The course will be given in the form of workshops, where both teacher and students give oral presentations. Students will practice new techniques of data analysis in SPSS in the second part of the lecture. Questioning, explaining, collaborating, and demonstrating will be used as teaching methods and strategies. Students are expected to complete weekly readings prior to class, prepare their weekly assignments, and attend classes and seminars. There will be some homework during the semester. Homework (including Output) should submitted no later by Sunday 10 a.m. Turn the electronic documents (as either a *.doc file or a *.pdf file) into the homework vault in is.muni.cz
Metody hodnocení
Conditions for passing the course:
1. Systematic work and written responses to homework
2. Active participation and systematic work during the seminars
3. Final test

Particular activities of students will be evaluated as follows:
30% - reading, responses and class participation
70% - final test

The course ends with a test based on the theoretical and practical issues presented during the semester: a written part (20 minutes) designed to evaluate the theoretical issues, and a practical one (max. 60-90 minutes - to be decided) aimed to evaluate SPSS usage in solving a statistical problem.
