Very nice guy, keep track of your grades/expected grades on a spreadsheet so you know where your grade stands. I recommend doing a supplemental task ~week 4-6, and do all the weekly responses so you don't have to worry about your grade. Course is a solid amount of work even though it's 3 units, so don't underestimate the time you'll spend on it.
The course needs to be redesigned
Solid prof, would take again for similar class.
Very boring lecturer. Just sit in the back and do whatever you want since theres no need to pay attention, except for the first week when he talks about the main ethical frameworks. Super easy A if you just put in a bit of effort.
For a 3 unit class, you have a paper, midterm, individual project, group project, surveys, training modules, and participation you have to complete for this class. If that's not bad enough, the restrictions set on the assignments make a catch 22 to complete, and the professor for some reason decides to publicly roast students' presentations.
Professor is meh. The classes material is easy, and essays are easy, but his grading criteria was as clear as the lagoon. He also said that lecture attendance influences grades too, but it doesn't seem like it did. Textbook was useless, don't bother buying it.
