SI 523: Special Topics: Information and Control
There are two purposes for this course: to give participants some background on information and control and the relationship between the two: and to be of practical use to people who work as professionals. Participants in this class will be able to examine situations involving social control issues and provide a quick and accurate, analytic assessments of the informational issues that are likely to factor in those situations. For example, participants should be able to examine the role of the Institutional Review Board at the University of Michigan, describe the ways in which information is used to achieve the purpose of IRB review, point out problems in the current information design (e.g., adverse selection), and suggest alternatives that might work better. More practically, a participant should be able to provide a sensible strategy for development of information support required to achieve effective social control in a particular situation, and to change that strategy when circumstances change.
