Understanding data processing has a very important role in preparing the final assignment. Data processing is a critical step in scientific research methodology. Students who compose their final assignment need to know and understand the techniques, stages and interpretation of results correctly so that their research has a strong basis. So the aim of Community Service Activities is to provide knowledge and understanding to final semester students who have started preparing their final assignments at Mikroskil University. Provide practical understanding and skills to students in using SPSS and SmartPLS as data processing tools. This training was carried out directly using SPSS and SMArtPLS software.
