This class focuses on understanding how the structure of relationships between people influence communication patterns and behavior. This perspective can help us to understand a broad set of phenomena, from online communities to friendships to businesses. The course will also introduce students to using network visualizations to gain and share insights about network phenomena. | ||

This semester, we are going to try using the [https://www.rcac.purdue.edu/compute/scholar Scholar] computing cluster run by Purdue Research Computing. You should be able to access this from basically any computer (including a lab computer) using a web browser, but you will need access to some kind of computer. | ||
If you would like, you may also want to install R on your personal computer so that you can use it in the future when you no longer have access to Purdue resources. | |||

Only I can excuse a student from a course requirement or responsibility. When conflicts can be anticipated, such as for many University-sponsored activities and religious observations, please inform me of the situation as far in advance as possible. For unanticipated or emergency conflicts, when advance notification is not possible, contact me as soon as possible on Discord or by email. In cases of bereavement, quarantine, or isolation, the student or the student’s representative should contact the Office of the Dean of Students via email or phone at 765-494-1747. Our course on Brightspace includes a link to the Dean of Students under 'Campus Resources.' | Only I can excuse a student from a course requirement or responsibility.
