IDSC 100 Data Storytelling 6 credits
From dubious statistical claims on social media to biometric tracking on our phones, we are constant consumers and producers of data, often without knowing it. More data about ourselves and our world is available than ever before, but how do we make sense of it? What good is it? Should we be collecting it at all? We will read and discuss how data is used in tech, education, medicine, activism, and more, to convince, confuse, and mislead the public. Students will learn how to think critically about numbers in the world around them, work with data, and tell compelling stories.
