<p class="MsoNormal">On Wednesday, October 3<sup>rd</sup>, join us for two
sessions that feature tools and content to bring election data into the
classroom with the goal to support quantitative literacy in the social
sciences. As the momentum of the 2012
Presidential Election builds, what a great time to pique the interest of
students and get them hooked on (election) data!</p>

<p>The Supplemental Empirical Teaching Units in Political Science (SETUPS) have
been widely used by political science instructors since the 1970s. <strong>Charles
Prysby and Carmine Scavo</strong>, the creators of <em><a href="http://www.icpsr.umich.edu/icpsrweb/instructors/setups2008/index.jsp">Voting
Behavior: The 2008 Election</a></em> as well as past SETUPS editions,
will lead this session and describe how this series of activities can be used
to teach students about survey research and data analysis as they examine
patterns in voting behavior. Prysby and Scavo will include tips for classroom
use of the exercises and maybe even some hints about the 2012 version!</p>
