Course language: As in almost all of the courses offered with the SPAN prefix, this one is taught in Spanish.

Overview: Computational Culture in Spanish teaches you how to use digital Spanish text to learn about Spanish culture. Hopefully you'll finish the semester with some practical knowledge about solving cultural problems, such as techniques for identifying the author of a text from the statistics of the words that he or she uses or identifying the mood of a population by what it discusses on Twitter. You will also become familiar with a computer programming language called Python, which is easy to learn and makes doing many tasks with digital text rather simple.

Objectives:

Outcomes: For you to demonstrate your attainment of these objectives, you will perform the following tasks:

Code of Academic Integrity

“The integrity of Newcomb-Tulane College is based on the absolute honesty of the entire community in all academic endeavors. As part of the Tulane University community, students have certain responsibilities regarding work that forms the basis for the evaluation of their academic achievement. Students are expected to be familiar with these responsibilities at all times. No member of the university community should tolerate any form of academic dishonesty, because the scholarly community of the university depends on the willingness of both instructors and students to uphold the Code of Academic Conduct. When a violation of the Code of Academic Conduct is observed it is the duty of every member of the academic community who has evidence of the violation to take action. Students should take steps to uphold the code by reporting any suspected offense to the instructor or the associate dean of the college. Students should under no circumstances tolerate any form of academic dishonesty.” For further information, point your browser at http://college.tulane.edu/honorcode.htm. Violations of the Code of Academic Integrity will not be tolerated in this class. I will rigorously investigate and pursue any such transgression.

Students with disabilities who need academic accommodation should:
