From the calendar
Official source · Faculty of Arts & ScienceSocial scientists are increasingly working with big and complex datasets that contain spatial, group-level, and individual-level dimensions to answer questions about society. In this course, students will develop introductory programming knowledge and data acumen in order to create and run computer programs to explore where, when, and why social processes occur, drawing on theories from geography, linguistics, sociology, anthropology, economics, political science, and psychology. Instruction will focus on applying current data analysis libraries, communicating and translating data science methods to both researchers and the public, distinguishing causation from correlation and coincidence, and negotiating tradeoffs between different computational and statistical approaches.

What people actually got
Last observed Winter 20262 terms observed
This is a student-contributed aggregate, not an official University of Toronto record. It is also not a measure of how hard the course is — a course average moves with who enrols in it, not only with the material.
This rests on 2 reported terms. It is shown because hiding it would not make it less true, but one or two results are a datapoint, not a distribution — a single unusual cohort moves this number a long way.

What this opens up
4 courses list GGR274H1 as a prerequisiteThe other 3 have no page yet. Listing a course here means it names GGR274H1 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what GGR274H1 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.
