It is meant to be relatively painless and perhaps +to spark an interest in the topic. + +The three-unit CS H195 is meant to allow small-group discussion with the +students who are here out of serious interest. It requires more reading +and more writing (a term paper) in addition to the extra discussion time. +The non-honors version meets once per week, Monday 4-5:30, in 306 Soda. +The honors version has the same lecture, plus an additional meeting Wednesday +4-5:30, in 373 Soda. + +This syllabus is online at http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs195 + + +READINGS +-------- + +There are two course readers, although with a lot of overlap, one for each +version of the course. Be sure to get the right reader! They're at +Copy Central on Shattuck Square. FOR THE NON-HONORS (CS 195) STUDENTS, +ALL ASSIGNED READINGS ARE EITHER IN THE COURSE READER OR ONLINE. The honors +version (CS H195) has two textbooks in addition to the reader: + +[ES] Computers, Ethics, and Society (Third Edition) + edited by M. David Ermann and Michele S. Shauf. + Oxford University Press, 1997, ISBN 0-19-514302-7 + +[Lud] High Noon on the Electronic Frontier: Conceptual Issues in Cyberspace + edited by Peter Ludlow. MIT Press, 1996, ISBN 0-262-62103-7 + +Each week I cull news articles relevant to the course; these will be posted +in the class bSpace page and are also part of the week's reading assignment. +You don't have to read every word of every article, but skim them and read +the interesting ones. + +DO THE READING, COME TO CLASS +----------------------------- + +As indicated below, each week has a topic, more or less. This first week is +a general overview of the course and the topics. + +PLEASE READ THE INDICATED PAPERS BEFORE EACH WEEK'S DISCUSSION. Most of the +readings should be easy going, with only a few exceptions. (I'll try to warn +you about those in advance.) But if you don't do the reading, the quality of +the discussions will suffer. You are expected to attend class and participate +in discussions. ATTENDANCE IS REQUIRED -- THIS WILL BE ENFORCED. + +WRITING ASSIGNMENTS +------------------- + +The course is graded P/NP. In addition to attending all class sessions and +doing the assigned reading, the requirement for credit includes three +writing assignments. In the non-honors section, these will be short (one or +two page) papers on assigned topics, based on the readings and lectures, +due Monday of weeks 6 (10/1), 9 (10/22), and 14 (11/26). + +In the honors section (194/12), the first two will be the same short papers, +and the third will be a longer (5-10 page) term paper. Each honors student +will pick one topic for more intensive study, leading to a term paper and +perhaps a presentation to the class. (Your topic may or may not be the same +as one of mine.) Since the term paper is your main written work in this +course, I want it to be good -- scholarly, honest, articulate, well-organized. +To this end, you will prepare the term paper in three stages: + + * A one-page proposal (with initial bibliography) due week 5 (9/24). + * A first version (your best effort!) due week 10 (10/29). + * A revised version due week 13 (11/19). + +I'll respond to each of these stages within a week. THESE ARE FIRM DEADLINES; +they are chosen to allow time for recovery if what you turn in is not of +acceptable quality. (In a typical semester I require post-final versions from +one or two out of about 25 students.) Typical papers are 5 to 10 pages, but +don't pad; quality counts much more than quantity. + +ACADEMIC INTEGRITY +------------------ + +I have strong opinions on some of these topics, and I believe that the road to +academic integrity is for me to make my biases clear, rather than to pretend +not to have opinions. But it's also my job to be sure that the full range of +opinion is fairly presented and taken seriously; if, as sometimes happens, +most of the class agrees with me about some point I'll do my best to argue the +other side of the question. The same standards apply to your papers: You +don't have to agree with me; what you have to do is show that you understand +and take seriously points of view different from your own, and try to explain +why your arguments are better than theirs. (But not every paper is +necessarily an opinion paper!) + +I hope it goes without saying that everything you turn in should be your own +work, not quoting from anyone else's work without proper attribution. + +Schedule: + +Week Dates Topic Readings + + 1 8/27,8/29 Intro + Williams, "Ethical..."
