There is a significant positive correlation between the number of courses taken and self-assessed computer knowledge. The more computer courses a participant took, the more generally knowledgeable they were about computers and computer usage.
Above is a chart depicting the frequency distribution of self-assessed obstacles to computer usage and the application of computer-based courses to continued professional development. (See Appendix a for numerical Data)

*insert your summary tables here. Because I have to submit in compatibility mode I can't get the formatting right.

** Because this is your real data, it would be unethical to give you further information regarding your results sections (I'd end up doing it for you and I know that isn't what you want.) I have everything saved though so if you need a copy of a chart or the spss data just give me a shout and I'll send it along. Good Luck!!
