GCOM 7280 - Big Data

This course provides an over view of the 4Vs of Big Data: volume, velocity, variety, and veracity. Through a group project, labs, and individual exercises, students learn about the important implications of the 4Vs for data in-rest and data in-motion. Students will use Hadoop-based software packages such as IBM Infosphere to derive business insights from large quantities of search, clickstream, and social media content.
