Margie, I have used Field's book the last couple of times in my Master's level Advanced Statistics course. I love it, and I have had positive feedback from the students (first time ever for a statistics text). Field has an interesting sense of humor. It is really a textbook, not a lab manual, although he does walk you through how to do SPSS procedures. I think you could use it for an undergrad class, but if I did I would leave out quite a bit. One of the interesting features of the book is that each chapter section is numerically coded according to its difficulty, so you could use that to assign readings, depending on the level of your students. I hope this helps. David Kreiner Professor of Psychology and Associate Dean of The Graduate School University of Central Missouri [EMAIL PROTECTED]
>>> Margie Hardy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 3/31/2008 7:52 AM >>> Hi Everyone, For the past couple of years, we have used Green & Salkind's "Using SPSS" manual and CD in the lab portion of our Stats & Research Design Class. In browsing the web, however, I ran across "Discovering Statistics Using SPSS" by Andy Field. Have any of your used this manual--or any other--sucessfully in your classes? Oh, by the way, our version of SPSS is 15. Also, do you have any suggestions for brief books on "How to Write in APA style"? I'm tempted here to just direct students to some good websites. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
