Good photography skills are useful everywhere, from getting more likes on social media to effectively telling the important stories of social justice. This course merges storytelling, communication and photography topics to enhance your picture-taking. Join us if you’re an avid photographer, Instagram-savvy or just want to take better pictures of your food. Any level of experience is welcome, as is camera equipment—bring your DSLR or your smartphone. 3 credit hours.
This class is perfect for undergrads outside of Grady College who have an interest in photography and need an elective credit. It bridges the gap between a fully-photojournalism class and a fully-fine art photography class.

The media shapes what an individual knows about their community and the world, and being literate about the news an information we receive is essential to making decisions. There is no better time to learn how to navigate digital media, as disinformation isn't going anywhere, and we need as many people as possible — citizens as much as journalists, educators, and other professionals — to wade into the digital world equipped with the concepts and tools to tell the difference between lies and truth.
Here’s a three-part video series by former Media Savvy student Lauren Tear about some of the big ideas we learn about and practice in Media Savvy:
Part I:
News Literacy for Dummies, Part I
Part II:
News Literacy for Dummies, Part II
Part III:
News Literacy for Dummies, Part III

Background Information: A group of faculty members from across the University System of Georgia convened in 2019 to develop an introductory course in data science. This group designed this course to offer students the opportunity to develop skills in appropriate technology and statistical methods by completing hands-on projects focused on real-world data and addressing the social consequences of data analysis and application. The Statistics Department has adopted this course for UGA as STAT 1501.
Course Description: STAT 1501 introduces students to data science with an emphasis on conceptual understanding and interpretation. The course surveys various statistical techniques for gaining insights about data. Topics include data visualization, using models to understand data, classification, and other machine learning techniques. Explores ethical considerations in data science. Students will learn to use basic computational tools for data exploration. The course will adopt an active learning approach.
STAT 1501 has no prerequisites and is intended for non-STEM students. The course has been approved for Fall 2022 and will shortly be under consideration for inclusion in Area III of the general education curriculum.
