Student Research Support:

Quantitative, SPSS, and Statistics Tutoring

Quantitative data analysis appointments allow doctoral students working on their project study or dissertation to have one-on-one sessions with a quantitative methodologist.  Students may ask any questions pertaining to data analysis. The quantitative methodologists provide assistance in data analysis, SPSS or interpretation of results for reporting purposes.

If you have questions concerning research (RSCH) course concepts or assignments, please contact the Academic Skills Center for course tutoring: https://academicguides.waldenu.edu/academic-skills-center/tutors

Appointments are held in Zoom. Weekly slots are limited. Please make only one appointment a week so that other students also have a chance to make timely appointments. If you need more than one appointment, you are welcome to make one for another week.

Contact us at ordscapstonestatistics@mail.waldenu.edu with any questions.
