Welcome to the Networks Blog 2021

Welcome to the course blog for Networks (CS2850, ECON2040, INFO 2040, SOC2090)! This is a course which will explore how the social, technological, and natural worlds are connected, and how the study of networks sheds light on these connections.Topics include: how opinions, fads, and political movements spread through society; the robustness and fragility of food webs and financial markets; and the technology, economics, and politics of Web information and on-line communities.

The content on this blog is viewable by the public. However, only the course staff and enrolled students are allowed to post to this blog. All students enrolled in this course are required to participate in updating this blog. Each student enrolled in the Networks course must make two blog posts as part of their course grade.

The guidelines and schedule for blog posting can be found on the course web page at blog post guidelines

Everyone who was enrolled in the course as of Friday, August 27 should have an account of the course blog. If you don’t see an account send an email to our TA Emiliano Harris, eh638@cornell.edu . When you log in to the blog using your Cornell netid you should set a nickname to be displayed publicly. In keeping with course privacy guidelines, no student will be required to make their true identity public as part of this activity.

To set a nickname after you login click on your name in the upper right corner, then click on “edit profile”, scroll down and you will find an option to reset your nickname. Blog posts will be graded. You submit your post to the course blog itself and not to gradescope.
