It is important for students to become knowledgeable consumers of information that is delivered to them through various media sources, an increasing amount of which is being presented in tables, graphs, or other quantitative formats. The use of survey data can help convey course content in an interesting way while building students’ quantitative literacy. This session is designed to introduce even the most “number phobic” instructors to 1) the importance of including quantitative skills in courses outside the traditional STEM disciplines, 2) a multitude of sources of data-based exercises for classroom use (most of them free!), and 3) the additional benefits of using data in lower-division social science courses. This session will be a webcast version of a recent presentation presenters Lynette Hoelter & Linda Detterman conducted at the 2012 International Conference on College Teaching and Learning.
