The Power of SPSS

:')


Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS)

Last semester, I first learnt about SPSS from my teacher, Asst. Prof. Dr. Harris Shah Abdul Hamid, Head of Psychology of Department. It was a bundle of joy to learn lab-based statistics PSYC 3100! :')

I was not the type that really likes Math but now, I am not afraid of it anymore. Since I already know what and how to answer the questions. Some people get really frustrated with SPSS sometimes because they do not understand what to do with it.

At first, I was skeptical about my abilities to master SPSS. It was an oeverwhelming feeling but gradually it vanished. Although I am in in undergraduate studies, I look forward to using SPSS in research. And maybe upgrade to another different type of software, hehe.

Anyway, for those of you psychology students who are taking PSYC 3100 next semester, all the best!
Dr Harris. is not a monster, you can ask him anything and he'll help you. In learning, it is essential to interact with your lecturers so that they know where you stand and can help you.

There's a verse in the Quran that sounds like "Allah will not change a tribe unless they change themselves".
So, you need to HELP yourself by asking questions and meeting up with your lecturer so that he or she can help you in your learning.

 Here's a few links you can review on if you are under statistics confusion. :D

 1) Intangible Inheritance

This is Dr. Harris' blog and he has a lot of posts on statistics

2) Maryam's Report

This is my humble work for PSYC 3100. Hope it helps.

3) Laerd Statistics the ultimate Guide to IBM SPSS

This website helps a lot. It can help you on how to enter data correctly as well as analysing the output and writing up analysis APA Style. Two Thumbs up!

May this count as service to the Ummah. Sayonara. <3

Hubby's victory night: Majlis Makan Malam Regimental Sempena Pentauliahan Diraja Palapes Darat kali ke 34

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Yester-night was a victory for  my loving chubby husband and I decided to commit our memories in this blog walaupun dah berhabuk sikit. So sorry guys. Here goes ... About a year ago, Fadzel, then my 'friend' asked me out on a date which was dated a year later. My first impression was like kau siapa? Kita baru date SATU hari and after that you asked for a second date that's one year from now. So apa yang jadi? Aku jual mahal lah. Cehh konon tapi bila dengar makan 5 star hotel. Fuhhh! Makan free aku rasa orang gila je yang tolak. Fast forward a year after. He was sooo busy for his graduation :( Ni belum jadi army's wife lagi. Tapi Alhamdulillah dea tak nak dah jadi askar. Hehe. Our grand dinner dekat PALACE OF GOLDEN HORSES. How amazing was that!! Literally macam fancy and stuff. I was so thrilled. It was definitely a once in a lifetime event . Unless if you guys need a date next year. Hehe So pukul 4 tu dah bertolak dari UIA naik

Respect begets respect ~

Respect is one word with multiple meanings. For some people, respect is one thing, and for others, it means something quite opposite. Firstly, I am appalled by the Malay culture. You are expected to call someone "Kakak" and "Abang" even if you're just one year younger. Is that how you measure respect? So.. if  I don't call you that then you attribute it to being disrespectful? Secondly, experience is something so utterly subjective. Quality is more important than quantity. Don't you agree? It doesn't mean that you're older so you're more experienced leading to wisdom. Again, age is just a number. Allah tests us in so many different ways and some people are tested in a difficult situation a hundred times more challenging than yourself. AGE IS JUST A NUMBER, PEOPLE. Yes, you have to be respectful to others regardless of age. When you're older, you respect the young ones first, so they may respect you. Be respectful first. Don'

Tips masuk UIA

Image
Beautiful Amazing Awesome my IIUM!  Assalamualaikum readers, So hari ni nak cerita pasal TIPS masuk U or more like UIAM :DD . From a senior to junior  . Cehhh ~ Senior sangat. :p so here goes .... 1) JANGAN DENGAR CAKAP SENIOR (LOL)  Yes yes yes I faham. Senior has more experience and dah lalui apa yang korang baru je nak lalui. That does not make a senior a SAINT. That does not make what he tells you as the PLAIN TRUTH. Different people, they experience different things. And you could put two birds in a cage, one would feel like going out and the other feels so secure. lolz. Touche? The thing is, it's totally OKAY to ask advise from your seniors, but take it with a pinch of salt. Like for example , all of us suka tanya: A: Ehh kak, macam mana lecturer X, okay tak? B: Eh tak okay tak okay . Lecturer X tu mmg killer . Akak pun dapat C+ jee A: Ala yeke mcm mana ni kak? B: Nak buat macam mana , amek je lah . Dea sorang je yang ajar . So si A tu pun masuk la class
