Instructional
Support at the SSCC
Information for SSCC Instructional
Lab Users
The Social Science Computing Cooperative provides
support for courses in the Social Science
division. Our facilities include a computer classroom,
a drop-in lab, and a mobile lab. Our staff can
also assist you and your students in using the
computers and running statistical software.
Computer Labs
3218 Sewell Social Sciences is our primary classroom.
It has 30 PCs, a printer, a scanner and a ceiling-mounted
projector. The PCs have software installed which
allows the instructor to control or interact
with the students' computers. (Contact Doug Hemken
at dehemken@wisc.edu if
you'd like an introduction.)
4218 Sewell Social Sciences is the primary lab
for student drop-in use. It has 24 PCs configured
identically to the 3218 classroom PCs. It also
has a printer and scanner. 3218 is available
for drop-in use when classes are not being held
there. The Group Projects Room in 3218 is
available for drop-in use by groups of students
working on projects.
A mobile lab comprised of 42 laptops is also available
for classroom/workshop use in the Sewell Social
Science Building. The 2470 computer lab is set
up to accommodate 24 of the laptops and may be
reserved along with the mobile lab.
The PCs in 3218 and 4218 have a rich set of statistical
software installed, many of which are not found
anywhere else on campus. For a complete list,
see our software page.
The 3218 and 4218 labs (including the Group Projects
Room in 3218A) are open 8:00AM-8:00PM Monday-Friday
and 12:00PM-5:00PM on weekends. Graduate students
may request
after-hours access for the 4218 lab and the
Group Projects Room.

for SSCC, is available to help students with
homework and class projects 10:00AM.-2:00PM
