I must say this at the very beginning:
######## WARNING #######
If you want to learn anything about computer science, DO NOT take this course! This is a journalism course with computer science course number.
The professor is always talking about something she knows in journalism, and she is kind of "anti-technology". Only the guest speaker will leave some programming assignments, which will count 15% of the final grade in total.
The final project could be a disaster if you naively think this is a computer science course.
65% of the course depends on the final project and the instructor strongly prefer it to be a pure journalistic one. No computer science involved.
