Can U B Trusted?

Reliability counts in data analysis. Continuing on our WIHIC journey, our group analysed the Preferred and Actual forms data from the entire class using the SPSS data mining software. Data was sampled using the Cronbach's Alpha principle to churn out reliability numbers. The significance of the reliability number has several different interpretation by many gentlemen but the chosen one for this case was that of Nunnally. The main takeaway from this is that back at the workplace, I am unlikely to apply the tedious method of data analysis but at least the adminstering of the Preferred and Actual questionnaires is something practical and would give insights into how I run the courses.
