CS 575 - Computer Responsibility (Ethics)
Students in the course choose between four computer-related scenarios
and write a one-page essay discussing the behaviors
of the individuals involved. The essays are graded on a pass/fail
basis (only essays that show a lack of thought or effort "fail").
This is followed by a week long lecture and discussion in class
of computer responsibility and the changing nature of the
information intensive world we now live in.
The goal is to start a dialog between the instructor and students
and for the instructor to gain a better understanding of the
students' attitudes concerning computer-related issues.
