We recently received links to two online resources that may be of particular interest to students using spreadsheets for statistical analysis. These could be used in Quantitative Methods Teaching where the use of spreadsheets, specifically Microsoft Excel, is being used for statistical analysis.

Please note that both of these sites are external and not related to the RSSCSE. Any questions or comments regarding the content of these resources should be addressed to their respective hosts.
