The course will discuss the role of social data analytics in decision making, basics of descriptive and linear predictive analytics, ethical principles in data analytics, and overview of big data analytics and applications. Students will learn about wrangling, analysing, and presenting social data for decision-making using readily available spreadsheet application and small publicly available datasets.
