Session Description: This hands-on workshop is intended for graduate students and upper level undergraduate students only. This is a hands-on workshop for which you are expected to bring a laptop. Are you overwhelmed by your data? Are you unclear about the concept of data organization? Are you wondering about efficient data handling procedures? If you are, this workshop is for you. We will teach you basic data handling techniques using common tools such as EXCEl, JMP, and SAS. What you do at the front end of your data analysis project will affect how efficiently you can complete this work.  To paraphrase Ralph Waldo Emerson "Data analysis is a journey, not a destination".
