QAC 378 – DeltaLab: Computational Media Analysis

The content of this course focuses on Wesleyan Media Project media data, including advertising and local television news, and exposes students to a variety of computational ways of making that data more accessible through computational analyses and visualization. Projects are often but not exclusively group-based and draw upon the range of different disciplinary perspectives. Students will engage with the instructors and other lab members once a week for updates on their projects, will attend skill demonstration meetings and smaller group sessions to facilitate lab knowledge transfer, and will engage regularly in hands-on work with the data.
