Choose 2 questions from the following options and write a short response in plain English for each one of your two choices (200 words total).
- What does ethics mean to you outside our class? What led you to this conclusion, and what are some other ways people might define ethics?
- What ethical challenges do you anticipate encountering in your pursuit of computer science and what do you think could help you overcome them?
- What other ethics topics do you think might be interesting for future iterations of this class (make sure to provide a specific real world example that demonstrates your ideas relevance)?
- While we can all reason about broad technology-related ethical issues, do you think your understanding of ethics specifically in computer science might change as you take more courses and learn more about the discipline?
If you enjoyed your Ethics Discussion section and are interested in designing future ethics activities, please feel free to include that in your reflection! This effort is entirely student-led so we’re always looking for more people to help.
