I've been assigned to teach an advanced research methods course on "big data" next fall to upper-level undergrads. As I'm more of a qualitative guy, this is a bit outside my comfort zone. I'm seeking recommendations of books, journal articles, or other readings that would be accessible to undergraduate juniors and seniors on analytics and related topics. Please respond off list, and if there is interest, I'll post a summary later. Thanks in advance. -- Mark D.

Hi Mark, I can strongly recommend you this book, it has received raving critics and if you look at Professor Mayer-Schonberger's work, he is one, if not THE leading communication researcher in the field: 'Big Data: A Revolution That Will Transform How We Live, Work and Think - by Kenneth Cukier and Viktor Mayer-Schonberger' http://www.amazon.com/Big-Data-Revolution-Transform-Think/dp/0544002695/ref=... The book is just out, so it is as current and up-to-date as it gets, already generating lots of buzz on relevant platforms, Hope it helps. Jan On Wed, 27 Feb 2013 15:47:22 -0000, Mark D.
