Download the GSS material for this course in this link:
http://www.ernestoamaral.com/docs/soci420-22fall/course.zip

Save and uncompress the GSS material in the Home Drive (H:\) in VOAL.

Basically, it will create a folder called "course" with four sub-folders:

"codes": we will use this folder to save Stata DO files and LOG files
"data": General Social Survey microdata
"documents": codebooks, information on income variable, questionnaires
"output": we will use this folder to save tables and figures

***CREATE SHORTCUTS AND LOG FILE

***Macintosh uses forward slash "/".

***Create shortcuts for folders, according to their location

global codes  = "H:\course\codes"
global data   = "H:\course\data"
