This course will provide students with an overview of the world of data science research. It will focus on how the analysis of data from social media and other internet-based sites (e.g. Twitter, YouTube, images, Wikipedia, Google books) can be used to tackle complex and fascinating societal questions (e.g. revealing insights about how happy we are, who we are friends with, how often we lie). This course will survey several exciting research projects in this field and provide students with a general understanding about the research methods and analyses (e.g. machine learning, social network analysis) in a non-technical manner that is accessible to students of various educational backgrounds.
