Faculty

The Quantitative Resource Center director provides support to faculty who teach quantitative skills and reasoning across the curriculum. Support is provided through multiple avenues. Email Lin to set up:

  • Individual consultations on curriculum, pedagogy, and evaluation related to quantitative skills and reasoning (Brainstorming on starting a new QRE course)
  • Workshops on teaching quantitative skills and reasoning
  • Collaborations with other departments and offices on campus
  • Class visits on QR topics including: reading graphs and tables, exploratory data visualization, writing about numbers, and using visualization to tell data stories
  • Student access to lessons and practice problems for common foundational skills through the ALEKS platform

If you would like to receive email notifications about QR-related events (internal and external) that Lin finds interesting, join the Google Group listserv here.

Staff

  • Graph Clinic: Do you present data about your programs and wish your graphs were better? Do you wish you had graphs, but you’re not sure how to make them? Bring your graphs, data, or ideas to the QRC (4th Libe, East Wing) on the first Tuesday of the month during common time to get feedback or brainstorm with Lin, the QRC director. Lin will also be available via zoom.
  • Data Drop-in hours: Working with data and not sure where to go? The QRC hosts weekly drop-ins with data librarians, academic technologists, QRC staff, and Digital Humanities, so you can get help with any stage of the data cycle. Visit the QRC Event Calendar for the most up-to-date schedule.
