Citizen Science/class

Citizen science involves the public in the generation of scientific knowledge. With a new professional society and an emerging journal, citizen science has reached a stage of explosive growth with new opportunities for citizen scientists appearing weekly. This course is open to graduate students from any discipline but might be of greatest interest to those in the sciences and education. Topics will include, but are not limited to, project typologies, best practices, project evaluation, user motivations, broadening participant diversity, and data quality. Both onsite and online engagement will be discussed.
