Revision as of 03:24, 9 February 2019

Data Science and Organizational Communication
Principal instructor
Nate TeBlunthuis
Course Catalog Description
Fundamental principles of data science and its implications, including research ethics; data privacy; legal frameworks; algorithmic bias, transparency, fairness and accountability; data provenance, curation, preservation, and reproducibility; human computation; data communication and visualization; the role of data science in organizational context and the societal impacts of data science.

Course Description

The rise of "data science" reflects a broad and ongoing shift in how many teams, organizational leaders, communities of practice, and entire industries create and use knowledge. This class teaches "data science" as practiced by data-intensive knowledge workers but also as it is positioned in historical, organizational, institutional, and societal contexts. Students will gain an appriciation for the technical and intellectual aspects of data science, consider critical questions about how data science is often practiced, and envision ethical and effective science practice in their current and future organiational roles. The format of the class will be a mix of lecture, discussion, in-class activities, and qualitative and quantitative research assignments.

The course is designed around two high-stakes projects. In the first stage of the students will attend the Community Data Science Workshop (CDSC). I am one of the organizers and instructors of this three week intensive workshop on basic programming and data analysis skills. The first course project is to apply these skills together with the conceptual material from this course we have covered so far to conduct an original data analysis on a topic of the student's interest. The second high-stakes project is a critical analysis of an organization or work team. For this project students will serve as consultants to an organizational unit involved in data science. Through interviews and workplace observations they will gain an understanding of the socio-technical and organizational context of their team. They will then synthesize this understanding with the knowledge they gained from the course material to compose a report offering actionable insights to their team.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Understand what it means to analyze large and complex data effectively and ethically with an understanding of human, societal, organizational, and socio-technical contexts.
  • Consider the account ethical, social, organizational, and legal considerations of data science in organizational and institutional contexts.
  • Combine quantitative and qualitative data to generate critical insights into human behavior.
  • Discuss and evaluate ethical, social, organizational and legal trade-offs of different data analysis, testing, curation, and sharing methods.
