Sports Analytics examines the fast-growing industry segment of sports analytics in order to understand the wide variety of issues and developments affecting the sport industry and key stakeholders within the industry. In the Wikipedia assignment, students will engage with an analytics topic that they find personally interesting and develop a deeper understanding of existing work. Through developing and publishing associated Wikipedia articles, students will practice synthesizing multiple information sources, critical thinking, research, and communication skills, and collaboration within and beyond the course structure.
