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 examples, 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.

pretty good, however requires you to put in the hours on your own. If you feel like you understand the topics because it is easy, study a little more.

pretty rough professor, however she has improved from the last two quarters. If you want an A, you are going to have to put in the work. She does care about students, and the opinion of students, she is very sweet. Dont be afraid to talk to her.

I feel like with this being Majedi's 3rd time teaching CS16 she's definitely has given us a better time when it comes to how she's approaching the class with us. If you go to her for help she genuinely will try to help you, now for the midterm I feel like if you spent time doing the zybooks and going to lecture then the midterm was Lowkey ez.

Took this course last quarter. Not an easy course tbh especially for the beginners, but totally doable if you put tons of efforts in. Attendance is not mandatory, but you basically can get a curve if you attend most of her lectures. She is a very caring and sweet professor if you been to her office hour, and a very sweet person to talk with.
