sample computer science/sociology syllabus
Loyal orgtheorista and sociologist Amy Binder has forwarded me this course syllabus for a course at UC San Diego. It is called Soc 211 Computational Methods in Social Science and was taught by Edward Hunter and Akos Rona-Tas.

Huh, interesting. Looks like a basic machine learning course, with social science articles. Good to see an emerging curricula around this, though. Will keep my eyes out for the textbook.
