CYB 100Infowars3
Spring Every industry, from communications to art to education to entertainment to supply chain to business, is undergoing a radical transformation due to evolution in technology. The internet helps ease the accessibility of information on any subject, while simultaneously creating multiple narratives, some grounded in fact, while others are intertwined with fiction. Enormous data sets - “Big Data” - are sought by organizations seeking approaches to improve decision making. Meanwhile, hackers and other rivals, pursue opportunities to manipulate or steal information in order to impact decision making for their own nefarious purposes. This course presents basic communication competencies for accessing, organizing, analyzing and evaluating information in all its various formats. Students will then learn to use those information resources for data driven decision making. 3 credit hours
