New Class: Introduction to Data Management, AGRY 598-049<\/strong><\/p>\n

Course Registration Info:<\/strong> \u201cIntro To Data Management\u201d – 17290 – AGRY 59800 \u2013 049,\u00a0 2 CR<\/p>\n

Time:<\/strong> Monday, 2:30 to 4:30 PM<\/p>\n

Prerequisites:<\/strong> Enrolled in graduate school and active in research<\/p>\n

Instructors:<\/strong> Marianne Stowell Bracke, Associate Professor, Agricultural Sciences Information Specialist<\/p>\n

Ronald Turco, Professor, Agronomy<\/p>\n

Class Overview:<\/strong> Research in agriculture and related fields is increasingly driven by data.\u00a0 But, students have not been trained in the most advanced approaches needed to fully utilize these evolving data resources.\u00a0\u00a0 Therefore, we are providing a graduate-level class that will allow students to the fully develop an understanding of and skills in, managing data<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 In addition to mastering current conceptual approaches in managing, organizing, sharing and curating research data, students will actively participate in addressing real world challenges by developing and working with their own and other research data sets.\u00a0\u00a0 Students will benefit from receiving intense, hands-on training in managing data.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Structure:<\/strong> Classes will meet once a week (Monday) for 2 hours.\u00a0 Initial class sessions will focus on the nature of the data the students are generating, student responsibilities and actions in developing data sets, and the challenges.\u00a0 Based in part on the themes that arise from these discussions instructors will then introduce a series of discussion topics and activities pertaining to data management or curation in ways that relate to the student\u2019s own work.\u00a0 Activities may include developing a data management plan to guide the development of a data set, tools for documenting and describing data well enough so that others could understand and make use of the data, or taking steps to prepare the data for eventual publication and long term preservation.\u00a0 Each student will work through these issues using the actual data that they are generating in their labs with active consultation from the instructors.\u00a0 Participating students will also have the advantage of having a student cohort to discuss particular challenges.\u00a0 Note, this will not just be an academic discussion \u2013 students will be required to begin implementing these data management techniques into actual practice.<\/p>\n
