ECS 188-1 and ECS 188-2 – Ethics in an Age of Technology – Winter 2017

Announcements

• Our class is over. I feel sad about that. I always do. Please try to think back to some of what we discussed. As I tried to communicate many times, this subject is not just some academic thing to study: it cuts to the heart of the kind of person that you will be and the kind world that we will occupy — if we continue to exist at all. I’m not really sure what could be more consequential.
• Here was the note to students and the video links from the final moments of class (depending on your section).
• Finally, I made some adjustments up to grades for section 1. Roughly half that section got a nudge up. Here is a note I just wrote to explain why I took this unusual step.
