Social Media and Big Data

What would you do if you could collect information from social media services? What questions would you want to ask? What data would help you answer them? How would you look at the data?

In this course, students will learn how to use APIs from YouTube and Twitter to download available data. They will explore the data from social media sources to look for details that are of interest to them. Students will review, explain, and create data visualizations that represent the answers to their questions.
