Abstract
This article describes an orientation to a course on computer use in social welfare research for doctoral students. Students are taught basic procedures for data analysis through interactive computing. The instructor's awareness of both the students' initial anxiety in using the computer and the limits of interactive computing is essential. The location of data analysis in the total research process must be stressed throughout the course and in the written assignments.
