SPSS Workshop: Consort Diagrams

Here’s an exciting opportunity for Undergraduate Researchers and any students at City Tech interested in learning more about using SPSS: the SPSS Workshop Series, a subset of the Undergraduate Research workshops this semester.

SPSS Workshop #1: Consort Diagrams
March 28th, 1:00-2:00 PM

The first session of the SPSS Workshop Series will delve into the intricacies of consort diagrams – their significance in clinical trials and scientific publications, and the methodology behind their creation. Students from all majors are welcome to attend.

In advance of the workshop session, students will need to read the freely available, selected article, “Cardiovascular Risk Assessment Among Adolescents and Youths Living With HIV: Evaluation of Electronic Health Record Findings and Implications.”

You can register for SPSS Workshop #1: Consort Diagrams via Zoom.

The next two of these three sessions of the SPSS Workshop Series will take place next month:

  • SPSS Workshop #2 Creating Tables and Exploring Associations between Two Variables, April 4, 1-2 PM
  • SPSS Workshop #3  Creating Tables and Exploring Associations between Multiple Variables for Scientific Journal Articles, April 11, 1-2 PM

This workshop series was created by Prof. Gurung, who will lead each of the three sessions.

Workshop: Advancing Library Research Techniques

We’re past the mid-semester mark, but not yet midway through the slate of workshops designed for you, Undergraduate Researchers!

You’re invited to join Prof. Leonard and Prof. Berger from City Tech’s library for Advancing Library Research Techniques, where you’ll learn how to use the library and Google Scholar to find sources for your poster and general strategies for the literature review.

This workshop is offered twice on Thursday, March 27th, once in the library and once on Zoom:

  • In person with Prof. Leonard, 1:00-2:00 PM–This workshop will take place in L540, the Library E-classroom. Enter the library on the 4th Floor of the Library building, and go up to the classroom on the next floor.
  • Online with Prof. Berger, 4:00-5:00 PM –You can register for the 4:00PM Advancing Library Research Techniques via Zoom.

Workshop: Academic Works for Student Posters

Another workshop, Undergraduate Researchers!

You’re invited to join City Tech’s Prof. Monica Berger for a workshop to learn more about using Academic Works for student posters and the ways Academic Works can benefit you as a researcher. Adding your poster to CUNY Academic Works creates a unique, permanent link that you can use to feature your research in your resume or CV, as well as your graduate school applications.

Register now and join Academic Works for Student Posters via Zoom on Thursday, April 27, 4:00-5:00PM for the workshop.

Workshop: Using OpenLab for your Research Project

We’re at midsemester, with many of the semester’s workshops still ahead of us, thanks to the effort of the workshop leaders and organizers, and of course to the curious and lively student participants!

Next in the workshop schedule is Using OpenLab for your Research Project, led by Prof. Reitz and Prof. Rosen, from the OpenLab Team, who will support student researchers by showing how to communicate about and display research via OpenLab or other open online platforms. All are welcome–even student researchers from elsewhere in CUNY–so invite your research-minded friends from other campuses, too!

Register for Using OpenLab for Your Research Project and join online on Thursday, 3/20, 1:00-2:00PM.

If you haven’t already, you may want to take the time to sign up for an OpenLab account before the workshop so you can log in and get started!
