• provide consultants with assignment descriptions, syllabi, and other relevant documentation
• meet with consultants to discuss expectations, class demographic, etc.

Additional Resources for Faculty

Cornell has a subscription to ICPSR (Inter-University Consortium for Political and Social Research) that allows for downloading of statistical data sets. Faculty are welcome to use these data sets in their classes. There is a helpful ICPSR tutorial available online through Lawrence University.
