Free Consulting PoliciesWe provide the following guidelines and information to facilitate the use of our services as well as to detail what researchers can expect, and what is expected of them, when using our free statistical and mathematical consulting services. What We DoSSC consultants can help you design your study, select an appropriate statistical or mathematical procedure, identify the various parts of your output, or interpret results. We can also recommend site-licensed statistical or mathematical software for your own personal computer, help you select the best package for your task, locate documentation, and interpret error messages. Due to the demand for free consulting services, we can provide a maximum of 1 hour a week of free consulting – either by email or appointment. How to PrepareFor initial consultations, be prepared to describe in detail your research questions and objectives and the characteristics of your expected data set (if applicable). If you are in the process of analyzing your data, you are encouraged to bring an electronic copy of your data or have it available from Webspace so that we may demonstrate procedures in a familiar data setting. Whom We Can HelpConsulting services are limited to the students, faculty, and staff of the University of Texas at Austin. Eligible student research includes undergraduate honors theses, master theses or reports, dissertations, and articles for publication. We can also assist teaching assistants and instructors using most statistical and mathematical software packages. Help We Can ProvideWe assist UT students, staff, and faculty with research oriented inquiries. Our role is to assist, rather than to conduct analyses for you. We prefer to meet with researchers near the beginning of their projects but are available for discussion at all stages or research, including the following:
