Resources and Links

small logo      scatterplot      eqn 

This page is designed to provide supplemental resources for statistics courses taught in the Psychology Department. Links to web resources include tutorials, online textbooks, and glossaries. Several links to publisher's web sites for some of the textbooks used in psychology statistics classes are also provided.

Applets called Shiny applets facilitate learning several concepts and are found below. We also provide a set of instructional modules that teach some basic skills with spreadsheets that can facilitate the computations required for learning several descriptive statistics as well as some inferential tests.A set of Java Applets can also be found. These applets provide an interactive way to master several core concepts in statistical analysis.

APSY210 Stat TA Office Hours - Spring 2024

The Psychology department has staffed the APSY210 TA pool with several TAs and office hours are available througout the week. Students are advised to take advantage of this assistance. The TAs are not "tutors" but can be very helpful in guiding students when they have questions.

Hours are held in SS132

Mon:     9-11am (Alyssa and Kayla)
              1:30-2:30pm (Alyssa)
Tue:      11am-1pm (Kayla)
Wed:     9-11am (Alyssa)
              9:50am-2:50pm (Phil)
              2-5pm (Kayla)
Thur:     9:30-11:30am (Nicole)
Fri:        9:30am-12:30pm (Nicole)
              12-2pm (Kayla)

Additional review session hours are held on some Fridays (time TBA) in SS134. Instructors will be notified of the exact days when these sessions will be held.

When inclement weather forces the University to go to remote teaching, these office hours may be held via zoom. When you log in to the zoom link, if the TA is not already there, please be patient. We think that zoom issues an email to the host whenever someone is in the waiting room. Zoom links are be posted here.

TA's may also offer hours via these zoom links when illness occurs - notes will be posted on the SS131 office door.

You will have to sign in with your UA credentials - do a "sign in with SSO" with the zoom app once you click the link.
