COMP 120-01  Computing and Society: Exploring the Political and Social Structure of the Web
MWF 01:10 pm-02:10 pm OLRI 256 Shilad Sen
*First Year Course only* Over one billion people use Facebook every month. Half of them visit the site every day. Not all sites are as inclusive as Facebook. Although Wikipedia neutrally describes Roe v. Wade as "a pivotal case... on the issue of abortion" the right-leaning Conservapedia states that the case "created a dangerous precedent that is still followed today." How and why do people join these virtual communities, and what makes people remain active participants? In this course you will develop computer programs that analyze social mechanisms underlying the Internet. These programs will identify online behavior consistent with theories from Computer Science, Psychology and Political Science on sites such as Facebook, Wikipedia, and Twitter. Although we analyze these behavioral data, the course primarily focuses on computation. By developing programs you will learn fundamental principles of Computer Science using the Python programming language. No prior programming experience is necessary.
