1/n (Book list follows ...)
Just received my Spring course evaluations for a seminar on "Computer & Information Ethics" which was cross-listed between #ComputerScience #Informatics #Anthropology and #Sociology - I was a bit concerned 5mo ago when I started because of how the world is right now and how anti-ethics in tech are being sold & shoved down people's throats. How would students respond to a "tech" class on human rights, cross-cultural expressions of safety, deeply critical deconstructions of the way money and political power influence our tools?

I should have had more faith.

The kids are alright.

1: "I took an "equivalent" course at another university and they didn't actually teach me anything about ethics. I actually feel like this course challenged me to hold myself to a little bit higher of a standard as I prepare to enter the workforce."

2. "He designed a spectacular, challenging, and well prepared course. Dr. Wells is one of the few teachers I've had where I can't complain about anything they have done. Genuinely give this guy a medal or something."

3. "It felt like the class was more about actually learning and thinking critically and less on harsh grading, which I enjoyed. I found myself even talking to friends and family about the topics I learned and I also spent time researching and learning more about certain topics because I felt as if I was able to enjoy the class and not specifically worry about passing a test."

I’m done teaching for this semester, next semester, and the semester after that!

Wenn die Studis nicht-verstandene #KI-Lösungen abgeben, dann gibt's null Punkte und eine Ansprache, aber wenn die Referees in ihrem Gutachten schreiben "... strengthens the mathematical reliability..." und "is both ... and ..." and jedes Substantiv hat genau zwei Adjektive in dieser "valuable and timely contribution".

Was dann??
