Science in Focus 2

Description from DukeHub

Topics vary depending on semester and section. Teams of undergraduate students work with faculty to explore the evolution of society and culture through the lens of information, using the latest computational methods to address pressing problems in new and creative ways. A team's work may run in parallel with or contribute to an ongoing research project. Teams will participate in seminars, data collection and analysis, field work and other learning experiences relevant to the project. Requires final paper or product containing significant analysis and interpretation. Instructor consent required.

DukeHub lists only the generic course description for special-topic sections.
