Hi, everyone, and welcome
to this semester of Epidemiology 2.
This module is all about getting prepared
for the rest of the course.
Some of you took Epi 1 and Biostats 1
as recently as last semester,
but for others, it's been many months
since you've seen any of this material.
This module provides some content
that will help you refresh and review key concepts.
There's a series of three audio lectures
for you to go through
and there's also a problem set for you to complete.
There are also some practice problems
that you can do if you would like to.
The other piece of preparation
that we're going to do in this module
is making sure that you're all ready
and set to go with your SPSS statistical software.
Most of you have used SPSS in a previous course,
so you should already have it downloaded on your computer,
but if you haven't used it in a while,
you may need to relicense your software.
Our first SPSS lab assignment is due in the next module,
so you want to make sure that you're all ready
and set to go for the next module.
There's also a practice SPSS data set,
so you can play around
and make sure you remember how to use SPSS.
If you have any questions about the review material
or anything else related to this course,
please don't hesitate to contact me
and I'll see you in the next module, take care.
