This course introduces first-year students to the ethical complexities embedded in scientific and technological endeavors. Students will explore how some designs and innovations can inadvertently impact society, perpetuate biases, and lead to unintended consequences if ethical considerations are overlooked.Through interactive discussions, case studies, and real-world exam ples, students will learn to identify and address ethical challenges such as privacy violations, discrimination, and inequality in technical design. This course encourages students to think critically about their roles as future engineers, scientists, and technologists, highlighting the importance of responsible decision-making that promotes inclusivity and fairness.

INT86VF . Majedi M 2 Months Ago

Professor Majedi is super charismatic and entertaining. You will easily pass this class as there is no homework or exams. You will get randomly called on in class to answer questions. I would take another class taught by her just to be in her presence.

Great professor, if you particpate in class. She awards participation, and it is super easy to just show up to lecture and listen. She really cares about her students, especially the ones that will put in the effort. That is all you have to do for this class. Put in effort and learn and you will get an A. She deserves a higher overall rating

Made the class 10x harder than it should be for a intro c++ class. Midterms were difficult and the averages on the first two midterms were under 65%. She offers a 3% grade boost if you attend all lectures and office hours, but ur grade will be cooked no matter what. Avoid her at all costs.

lwk learned nothing in this class, the class is super easy and the midterms were also not that bad. the final was really easy. she is not a good lecturer and often times gets stuff wrong (but the question could be beyond the scope of the course so i cant blame her). take another prof if u can

Mention Majedi's name to anyone and you will get a look of dread. She is a sweet person, but a notoriously tough grader. She made the first midterm purposefully difficult to "challenge us"... say goodbye to GPA-based scholarships. Big grading curve to those who attend office hours though.
