Session 7: Supporting students with quantitative analysis

Abstract

In March the Academic Achievement Team’s maths/stats/data analysis drop-ins become vey crowded. Students come in saying anything from “I’ve collected some data, what do I do now?” through “I’ve been told I need to use something called SPSS” all the way to “Can you just check my write-up in my analysis section?” Ideally students would not be facing these issues at such a critical point. In this session I discuss the common issues we see with students who come to us asking about their quantitative analysis as well as what the Academic Achievement Team offers on a year-round basis to support these students, before opening the floor to a discussion of how the Academic Achievement Team, dissertation module lecturers, and student project supervisors could work more closely to support students.
