We are very pleased to announce that the newly remodeled computer
classroom in 3218 Sewell Social Sciences (formerly known as the
SSML) is open and ready for use. The classroom is equipped with
30 new PCs, a printer, and a ceiling-mounted projector. We think
you’ll find the seating arrangement much more conducive to
teaching than before the remodel.
For drop-in use, your students can use either the 3218 or the 4218
computer lab. The 4218 lab has 24 PCs configured identically to
the 3218 classroom PCs. Both labs are open 8:00a.m.-8:00p.m. Mondays-Fridays
and noon - 4:00p.m. weekends. Graduate students may request after-hours
permits. 3218A, the smaller room in the back of the 3218
classroom, is also available for drop-in use (even when the classroom
is closed for a class) for groups of students working on projects.
The room is equipped with five PCs, a printer, and a scanner. Two
of the PCs may be reserved for running long jobs.
The 3218 classroom and 4218 drop-in lab have a rich set of statistical
software installed, many of which are not found anywhere else on
campus. Software includes Amos, E-views, Gauss, GeoDa, GWR, HLM,
LEM, Lisrel, Maple, Mathematica, MatLab, Minitab, NVivo, R, SAS,
SPSS, Stata, Stat Transfer, and Stella. In addition to statistical
software, the labs also have Microsoft and Corel office suites,
ArcGIS, ProCite, Scientific Word, GS View, IrfanView, Math Type,
MikTex, Nero CD/DVD Creator, IZArc, PDFCreator, and Adobe Illustrator
CS2.
Doug Hemken, statistical computing specialist for SSCC, is available
to help students with homework and class projects 10:00a.m.-2:00p.m.
Mondays-Fridays in Social Sciences 4224I or by appointment (dehemken@wisc.edu).
You can also arrange for Doug to come to your class and provide
instruction on statistical software. Doug and other SSCC staff
also offer free workshops during the semester. Visit https://www.ssc.wisc.edu/sscc_jsp/training/index.jsp for
our current offerings.
A mobile lab comprised of 42 laptops is also available for classroom/workshop
use in the Sewell Social Sciences Building. The 2470 computer lab
is set up to accommodate 24 of the laptops and may be reserved
along with the mobile lab.
