SPSS Statistics Software

Hi All,

I contacted the university IT people for clarification about access to SPSS software. This is what they said:

We’ve literally burned off the copies of SPSS 19 today so they should be able to get a copy from the library either late Friday or first thing on Monday.

Please get back in touch with us if you have any further queries.


Thank you

ATTENTION: EMSD Students who had applied for ECC

Hi All,

If you had originally applied for the ECC degree - but had to switch to EMSD you will already be aware that we are running a special version of EMSD just for you.

Instead of attending the 4 - 6pm EG7516 lecture (Business & Sustainability) which you are NOT registered for, you must instead attend your briefing session for the Specialist Independent Study option (based around the ECC curriculum). This will take place in E402 (the coffee room) after the coffee break.

See you there!

NEW MSc Students: how to complete enrolment

Hi All,

Some of you were unable to get your student ID/Library cards this morning - many apologies..this was because of a lack of staff and a technical glitch. There are two ways to resolve this:

1) Attend an alternative session (assuming you have already enrolled online). Turn up again on FRIDAY 16th (This week) between 11am and 4:30pm....or turn up next week on WEDNESDAY 21st between 9am and 4:30pm

2) If you are part-time/distance learner, you can apply for your student ID/Library card by post. Please do this by contacting the SIP help on the following email: sipnorth@mmu.ac.uk

If you have been unable to enrol online, please contact the SIP on the above email address for more help.


Thanks
Mark

WEBCT Interruption

There is a planned shutdown of WebCT on 7^th June for maintenance. This is expected to take place between 0700h and 0900h but there is potential for it to take a little longer.

Final Goodbyes!

Hi All,

Remember that the revised deadline for Callum's EG7519 assignment is FRIDAY 27th MAY

This week (tomorrow, Wednesday 11th) will be the last taught session (EG7519) before you start your project dissertation.

Dr Steve Hoon will be holding a special session to kick-start the project dissertation on:

Wednesday 25th May (Note: Updated date)
12pm
Room E143

It is absolutely essential that you ALL attend this session before your placements/MSc dissertations begin. Attendance at last week's Wednesday classes were not impressive. I would like to see everyone take a more professional approach - especially those who have been skipping sessions. I am always asked for a reference by potential employers...and I always tell the truth!!

Please note that tomorrow's coffee session will also be the last...and there are plenty of biscuits to get through ;-)
