The Stata 2 Class is meant for students who have taken the Stata 1 Class or who have the equivalent knowledge. The Stata 2 Class is more concerned with computer and data management commands than with the statistical procedures. The two-hour class will combine demonstration and explanation along with hands-on practice.
