Spring 2023 Workshops

For the Spring 2023 semester, workshops will be offered on selected Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

The MATH REFRESHER series is for all students who wish to review fundamental math concepts and/or prepare for statistics and economics courses. It covers material that is also found in a particular introductory workshop for incoming Marxe students. Topics include: decimals, fractions, percentages, scientific notation, graphing, and probability.

The STATS PREP series is focused on quant/stats concepts found in Data Collection and Description (PAF 9270), the first course in the research methods sequence. As such, it serves as preparation for more statistically focused classes. Topics include: variables, crosstabs, correlation vs regression, sigma notation, measures of central tendency, standard deviation, and an intro to Excel and other stats software.

The STATS SIMPLIFIED series is designed for students who are currently taking statistics-based courses or who wish to review material from past statistics courses. Relevant PAF courses include 9271, 9272, 9177, and more. Topics include: variables, the normal distribution, p-values, statistical significance, confidence intervals, hypothesis testing

The EXCEL & STATS SOFTWARE workshop series is a great complement to the STATS SIMPLIFIED series. It takes a closer look at the software– Stata, SPSS, Excel– used within such courses, and highlights how to use these programs to make calculations and analyze data. Topics include: pivot tables and Vlookup in Excel, the pros and cons of Excel/Stata/SPSS, performing various stats procedures like hypothesis testing with different software
