In this course, we explore systems of information and how they impact our current social and cultural life. Using Wikipedia as one such system, students will evaluate and edit Wikipedia articles to explore the information creation process of this information format. Students will also consider how authority is constructed and contextual, and recognize the value of information as a commodity.
