(3 credits) This course explores fundamental tools and methods for collecting, managing, and processing data (big and small) using models, and statistical inferencing to identify trends, support claims, and solve real-world problems in varied disciplines. Data visualization, storytelling techniques, and applying data analysis to education or workforce training are also emphasized. All required knowledge is covered throughout the course and prior experience in mathematics, computer science or statistical analysis is therefore not required. F,S,Su

3.00 Credits
(3 credits) This course promotes understanding of computer programming and logic by teaching students to "think like a computer". This course explores skills needed to develop and design language-independent solutions to solve computer-related problems. This course also covers development and design basics, including use of variables, control and data structures, principles of command-line, and object-oriented languages. Course assessment includes quizzes, forum discussions, and project assignments. F,S,Su

(3) Technologies play a central role in our culture, in the decisions we make, in our social relationships, in our health, in our safety, in conflict resolution, in the careers we pursue, in the way we work, play and live. Given this, part of what it means to be human is to be a user of technololgy. Gaining a clearer and more well- articulated understanding of the moral and social-political implications of technologies thus allows for a more considered view of our place in the world and our progress as a human civilization (scientifically, ethically, and socially). The course considers technololgies from different human perspectives. F,S.

(3) An introductory course that provides students with an overview of the concepts and methods of information design, the process of presenting information in a clear and effective way. This course focuses on information design in the humanities, and covers topics ranging from an introduction to the basic principles of visual information representation to hands-on applications of those concepts in creating digital documents. Students will explore a wide variety of free and professional software applications used in information design, including online mapping applications such as Google Maps and ArcGIS Online, infographics applications such as Piktochart, and interactive presentation applications such as Prezi. F, S, Su.

(3 credits) This course provides students with a critical foundation in telling digital stories through web-based languages HTML and CSS. The course focuses on providing students a foundation in how the web works, the information organization and logic of a web site, the ways HTML works to structure web pages, and the ways CSS works to style those pages. Students learn to write HTML and CSS, and design story-based web pages through local coding practices and processes, thinking carefully and expansively about how people access web-based information, and how to ensure that everyone, regardless of device, bandwidth, or ability, can access that information. Through hands-on, critical making practices, students gain important skills and knowledge in conceptualizing, testing, designing, writing, and coding web-based narrative. Offered as needed
