NZSSDS to be used in teaching in 2010

Several courses at The University of Auckland, in Sociology, Social Science Research Methods and Statistics, will be taught using data sets held here on the New Zealand Social Science Data Service this year.

In future years we plan to add value to NZSSDS in ways that specifically accommodate use for teaching purposes, including the production of sample coursebooks focusing on some of the data sets held, and data subsets to reduce the burden on students.
