About the course
This course aims to introduce students to 1) the issues surrounding FCDs in global nutrition research and 2) the concept of peer production. Students will gain knowledge and practical skills to engage directly in building a global food composition database.
The course will have two parts. During the first term, the students will learn about peer production and how to contribute to Wiki-based projects. In the second term, students will learn to use the data from WikiFCD to explore their own research questions while they continue to also contribute various FCDs to WikiFCD.
Schedule
- JHSPH has 4 terms (7 weeks each; 39-40 instruction days) + 1 summer term (8 weeks) and 1 winter intersession term (2 weeks):
- Summer Term: Wednesday, July 1 - Wednesday, August 26 (39 class days)

- 3rd Term: Monday, January 25 - Friday, March 19 (39 class days)
- 4th Term: Monday, March 29 - Friday, May 21 (40 class days)
- If we can teach in the 1st and/or 2nd term, that would be nice for the grant application to be submitted in November.
- It seems it's about 1 hour instruction time per credit. Students register 16 credits per semester (2 terms).
- Aim for meet once a week for 2 hours = 2 credits?
