Maureen Haaker and Dr. Scott Summers, Senior Research Officers at the UK Data Service, took up the mantle of running the first class with undergraduates.
In January 2018, they visited an undergraduate Sociology class at the University of Essex, as part of a ‘Thinking Ahead’ module, to share advice and guidance on data management for students preparing to undertake their research dissertations.
