What it is about

You learn to view data and algorithms from a critical perspective, especially in the tension between computer science, society, and data-related practices. You engage with questions about data collection, transformation, analysis, and reliability, and you learn to reflect critically on information visualization and model building in the context of data-based decision-making.

What you will be able to do

  • Knowledge of cultural, ethical, and socio-technical challenges at the interface of computer science and society
  • Analysis and evaluation of problems related to Big Data, Data Science, Data Ethics, Privacy and Fake News
  • Application of knowledge to develop and discuss new data- or algorithm-based approaches for societal problems

What the module consists of

  • Lectureconveys the fundamentals and discussion content, taking place entirely online with blended elements or live discussions
  • Exerciseenables collaborative work on concrete tasks and deepening of the content

Teaching method

  • Online lecture with blended elementsto convey critical analysis and discussion
  • Group-work exerciseto promote practical application, collaboration and deepened understanding
