Reading Guides and Assignment for Nov. 23 class
As I mentioned in class, the one-pager for tomorrow's class has been cancelled. However, there is a new required reading on the "Harnessing Digital Lens". Please see the reading guide (in the materials folder: http://bit.ly/fgPs30 ) for a link to the new reading. Also, note that the short reading on "Computation Social Science" can be a bit hard to find in the course pack, but it is in there, after the "Beyond Computation" reading and before "Diamonds in the Data Mine".Announced on 22 November 2010 4:46 p.m. by Erik Brynjolfsson
