Introduction to Big Data Analytics

Course #: MSIS 685

Description:
Course covers a new and increasingly popular method of managing data using large scale data analysis. The advent of the internet, Social Media and subsequently machine generated data has enabled social scientists to have access to massive datasets about the behavior of millions (or billions) of people or objects. However, collecting, storing, and analyzing this data isn't straightforward and requires specific skills. The goal of this course is to help students gain the skills required for this type of research while exposing them to tools and big data research streams. The course will help students understand both the challenges and the opportunities and assist them to appreciate Big Data applications.
