    I mentioned this on our call recently, and am posting these learning objectives here for you to refer to for your digital portfolios.

    Upon completion of the requirements for the Master of Science (or BA/MS) degree, students should be able to:

    • explain the social and political context of how data is generated and why this matters for research;
    • write clearly and analytically;
    • construct a viable research question;
    • design an evaluation study;
    • produce a step-by-step research or evaluation work plan that is feasible given time and resource constraints, using the GANTT chart or similar planning method;
    • collect data from a variety of sources, using both digital and analog methods;
    • analyze the data using the most appropriate methods and tools available;
    • interpret the results of the analysis;
    • demonstrate a working knowledge of basic steps to protect digital privacy and evade digital surveillance mechanisms;
    • create a digital portfolio demonstrating their work in the program.
