HUMAN 0620 - HUMANITIES DATA SCIENCE
Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course expands the concepts of Distant Reading, Pattern Recognition, Data Science, and Data Evaluation and Visualization introduced in ENG 0355. In addition to archival work, born-digital projects, and unique modes of storytelling, one of the strengths of Digital Humanities lies in the power of Distant Reading, a technique pioneered by Franco Moretti, which involves the use of powerful digital tools to analyze text for any number of criteria (genre theory, lexical level, content analysis, difficulty, pedagogical application, and so on). This course will allow students through the entire process from conceptualization of project to research to data analysis to visualization. The course will also utilize elements of statistical methodology common to Data Science.
