fight against “fake news” gears up, a university in the US has stepped in with a 12-week course in how to identify and refute fake news.

http://callingbullshit.org/syllabus.html

Two professors, Carl Bergstrom and Jevin West, will be offering lectures at Seattle’s University of Washington in “statistical traps and trickery”, as well as data visualisation, the problems of predatory publishing and scientific misconduct, and in the ethics of calling out fake news.

The course will run from next month and the professors say they hope to be able to record and share videos of their lectures.
