Introductory Social Data Analysis I LAB
INTRO SOC DATA ANLYS I LA
LAB for 'Intro Social Data Analysis I', taught by Prof. Yao Lu. The lab sessions are structured to show students how to use a statistical software package (Stata) to carry out data analysis, and will provide a collaborative environment for working on homework problems. This is a two semester lab (fal land spring), as is the course. Course Description This course is designed for first year doctoral students in Sociology. The class will teach the fundamentals of analyzing quantitative data in a social science context. Students will learn effective ways of presenting informational summaries, how to use statistical inference from samples to populations, the linear regression models that are the foundation of most of the research done in the social sciences, and the proper use of such models. The class will provide students with the analytical tools for effectively communicating the underlying intuitions of statistical models and their practical applications.

A Practical Approach to Second Language
Second Language Teaching
This graduate seminar serves as a continuation of SPPO GR6001 (“Theory and Practice of Second Language Teaching”) and it is intended for in-service instructors of language, and language and content courses at the Department of Latin American and Iberian Cultures at Columbia University. It focuses on the application in the second language (SL) classroom of the pedagogical principles reviewed in the previous semester, with emphasis on methodological approaches and applied techniques.
Students will be directly mentored regarding the classroom treatment and presentation of grammatical, lexical, socio-cultural, and pragmatic aspects of the language in the SL classroom. From a communicative approach and beyond, they will also continue to engage with basic teaching techniques such as lesson planning, use of the target language, technology integration, task design, and the use of written and oral authentic materials. They will learn practically how to promote the development of students’ abilities for literacy and critical thinking. Finally, they will be carefully guided through the actual design and implementation of testing and assessment measures for the course they are teaching. In this seminar, we will also analyze real and potential case scenarios that will/may arise in the classroom and we will consider tactics to resolve problems that typically occur. Reflective teaching practices (teachers as learners of teaching, dynamics of classroom communication, the role of teachers’ beliefs about pedagogical practices) will be revisited and rethought.

REPORTING - DATA JOURNALISM
REPORTING II (DATA)
Summer: In this module, you'll explore the methods journalists use to gather and evaluate information. You'll learn how to think and behave as a journalist, how to conceive of journalistic story assignments, and how to report them quickly and accurately on deadline. You’ll learn how to gather original information first-hand and to combine it with contextual information that can be found online and elsewhere. You will be taught how to ensure that a story is true, both in the sense of getting the facts right and also by stating the implications fairly. You’ll also get some basic training in digital technologies such as photo, mobile video and audio that are essential parts of a modern journalist’s toolkit, and you’ll begin using them in the service of journalism, while thinking about ways to use social media to engage an audience for your work.
Fall: Deep, compelling stories are built on a foundation of solid research and reporting. The goal of this course is to inspire you to dig deep, to find multiple sources of information and to explore different ways of gathering, verifying and evaluating facts and putting them in context. This class also will challenge you to think critically about the questions that drive your work and introduce you to a wide range of research and verification tools. More specifically, you will learn how to:
Use advanced internet search techniques
Obtain and analyze public records and data, including how to compose thorough FOIA requests
Get information about individuals and groups using a variety of sources
Work with, and incorporate, data and numbers in your reporting and writing
Use social media for reporting and verification
Evaluate scholarly literature
This course also will help you to sharpen your ability to critically assess the information you have obtained so you can create unique and accurate works of journalism. You will consider tactics for overcoming common obstacles, such as verifying information from interviews, being aware of cognitive bias and navigating informational roadblocks.

Molecules to Life I
Molecules to Life I
is a graduate-level course that introduces the fundamental principles governing living systems, from the physical chemistry of biological molecules to the logic of genetics, evolution, and cellular organization. The course begins by examining life through the lenses of information, computation, thermodynamics, and nonequilibrium physics, establishing a quantitative framework for understanding how molecular interactions give rise to biological function. Building on these foundations, students explore the principles of evolutionary inference, molecular genetics, and genome organization, emphasizing how genetic information is transmitted, regulated, and reshaped over evolutionary time. Throughout the course, recurring themes—including energy flow, information processing, biological networks, and emergent behavior—are developed across multiple scales, culminating in case studies that illustrate how fundamental concepts unify seemingly disparate areas of modern biology. The course is designed to provide students with a conceptual framework that prepares them to think rigorously about biological systems.

Journalists today tell stories in many ways: with words, of course, but also with video, photos, data and sound. In this module, you’ll pick one of those mediums, learn its tools and explore its storytelling potential. All Image & Sound Modules meet once per week, but expect to put in at least one additional day — and probably more — every week working on assignments for the class. If you're having trouble choosing between modules, don’t worry — though you’ll take only one Image & Sound module during your time at the J-school, you’ll be able to to explore other mediums in other classes.
