Census Data and Exercises for College Classes
This organization, the Social Science Data Analysis Network (SSDAN),
located at the Population Studies Center at the University of
Michigan, and supported by the NSF and the Department of Education,
is devoted to using "real" datasets in social science classes
(specifically low-level ones). The datasets are quite varied, so
students should find them interesting. They are designed to be used
with the "StudentCHIP" software (which is quite inexpensive and said
to be quite easy to use), but they can be used with other types of
software as well. When one registers, they will send you
documentation on the datasets, and classroom exercises for their
use. Besides the data, they also offer workshops in using them, and
classroom resources.
