Data in Emerging Media and Technology

Summary:
Students work through all levels of data analysis, including accessing data; combining and cleaning datasets; describing data through report-writing and visualization; inferential statistics; and, finally, making data-based decisions and conveying those decisions to a lay audience. This course uses Python to process data and introduce students to report writing, sharing and documentation. Course’s focus is to convey the strengths and limitations of both “big” and “small” data with an overarching goal of instilling ethical data practices for research and application.
