A graduate seminar providing a hands-on survey of modern software tools for reporting scientific results accurately, reproducibly, and collaboratively. The traditional goal of a scientific research project is a static document with text and charts; however, it lacks documentation about the series of data analyses and thus it can be nearly impossible for other researchers or even the original authors to reconstruct the reported results. With Chris Baldassano, Assistant Professor of Psychology.

For students new to computation and information design, through hands-on assignments in p5.js, students explore data processing, statistical analysis, color theory, animation and interactivity, as well as visual perception and bias.

An introduction to programming as a creative medium for graphic designers. Through a series of studio assignments in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, students learn visual and interaction design principles for the screen and how to apply them across digital platforms.
