## <font color='#3498DB'> The Information Age </font>
Big data affects virtually every area of our society, from the advertising we see, to how we think about politics, to genome-based medicine. Our ability to collect immense amounts of information has the potential to improve many aspects of our lives, but it can also be misleading and biased. This course considers how data are analyzed and how results from those analyses are used to make policy in an increasingly data-driven world.
