Minor note, but it's awesome that students outside network analysis courses are learning to use Gephi! It's such a cool and easy-to-use tool. I regretted not doing as much network theory in my CS education--I only really got into it after despite my favorite professor being a network theory researcher. Gephi makes playing around with graph datasets and transforming them into useful visual representations so easy--it's like the Excel of network theory, which is awesome. Despite the criticism often hurled at (and in many ways, rightly-deserved criticism) Excel, it is, if nothing else, accessible.
