For Carleton Faculty
Workshops and Presentations
The Quantitative Inquiry, Reasoning, and Knowledge (QuIRK) initiative sponsors December workshops for you to learn about effective pedagogies, resources, and expertise related to quantitative reasoning regardless of discipline or across all disciplines. The Perlman Learning and Teaching Center (LTC) and other curricular initiatives also partner with QuIRK for workshops and presentations.

Funding Opportunities
Software and Information Resources
Faculty and students alike can work with reference and instruction librarians and academic technologists in finding and using data files and statistical tools. Additionally, when data are purchased through the library rather than individually this means that all members of the Carleton community can have access to them.

Assignment Collections
The Science Education Resource Center (SERC) houses a rich collection of QuIRK-related assignments in categories such as quantitative writing, teaching with data, and quantitative skills. Carleton faculty members have contributed many of the assignments.

Copyright, Licensing, and Institutional Review Board
Some data sources have licensing and copyright restrictions that determine access or even dissemination of information in findings. Carleton's Institutional Review Board can answer questions about the protection of research subjects.

Production Meetings
Creating new assignments can be a time-consuming process, particularly if a proposed assignment warrants support from multiple groups on campus. Academic support professionals can research resources and support options after learning about your assignment, followed by a production meeting with an informed group discussion amongst all involved parties. Production meetings result in a concrete set of resources and support options.
