This course covers basic skills of analyzing quantitative and qualitative data from the internet, social media, and survey. Students will learn basics of R programming and how to use R for data manipulation, statistical analysis, and data visualization. These skills provide an overview of communication analytics, and they also serve as a necessary foundation for students interested in learning advanced computational methods and data science in communication.

Section Title:
Argument in Health Controversy
Section Info:
Should parents be required by law to have their children vaccinated against infectious diseases? Should sex education curricula teach adolescents about safe sex practices? Should gun violence be considered a public health concern? This course is concerned with the role of argumentation in health controversies such as these. As is typical of health controversies, each of these involves multiple very different kinds of arguments: those backed by scientific research, those embedded in policy frameworks, and those generated by people making very mundane health decisions. While it is very easy to take sides in such controversies, it is generally very difficult to construct any argument that will move it toward resolution. We will explore new approaches to argument analysis (including computational approaches) that offer either better understanding of these controversies or more effective participation in them (or both). A brief introduction to contemporary argumentation theory and its methods of analysis will be included, so no prior background is required.
