15.879  Research Seminar in System Dynamics

Hello All,
It's been a great term, and I hope everyone found the seminar interesting and helpful.  The final, 3-page paper is due today.  Please email yours to me before the end of the day.

Have a great Holiday!

Some members of our class have won DARPA's Network Challenge:

Congratulations to all involved - and we look forward to hearing about it!

See you Monday,

Hello All,
For the last class, we're reading classic and contemporary pieces on homophily, and also looking at happiness.  Peter Dodds will be the guest speaker.

See you Monday,
Damon

Hello All,
Two additional readings have been added for Monday.  Apologies for the late posting.  We won't have any readings next week so it's useful to prepare these for this week.

For those interested, here is a discussion forum on Mechanical Turk:  http://experimentalturk.wordpress.com/

See you Monday,
Damon

Hello All,
I've posted the readings for Monday on Network experiments.  We will have Sid Suri visiting from Duncan's group at Yahoo!, and he will be talking about experiments with Mechanical Turk.

See you Monday,
Damon
