FAQ
-
I don't have access to Mplus. Can I still benefit from this course?
Absolutely. You can engage in the full curriculum using only the demo version of Mplus, which is FREE. Dr. Geiser will provide instructions about getting the demo installed on your computer.
-
I have pretty limited statistical training. Will I be completely lost?
A graduate-level course in regression is helpful, but Dr. Geiser clearly explains key regression concepts in the course to ensure your success. The course is perfect for undergrads all the way through seasoned professionals.
-
There is no way that I will be able to set aside the three days required to take this course. Is the timing flexible?
We understand completely! The timing is entirely up to you. Once you enroll and the course has launched, you will have unlimited access to the content. Take the time you need--but we do recommend trying to complete your training within a couple of weeks to keep your learning consistent.
-
Will you give me feedback on my analyses?
Unfortunately, personal feedback is not possible given the volume of researchers we serve. We are certain that Dr. Geiser's thorough approach to guiding you through every step of using Mplus, along with the helpful handouts and guides included in the course, will enable you to successfully perform SEM with your own data. Note that we are always happy to help you navigate any technical issues related to the course itself.
