Today we discussed the legal, social, and ethical aspects of privacy, especially privacy in an online, networked world. We did not get a chance to fully discuss informed consent — what if websites asked for our consent each time they collected information or set a cookie? Take a look at your browser settings and review what cookies have been set on your computer. Any surprises?
On Wednesday we’ll discuss plagiarism and attempt an activity using your phones to voice your opinions on some aspects of academic integrity. Please read Isserman, Plagiarism: a Lie of the Mind (log in to the Chronicle of Higher Education through the library website) and Widdicombe, The Plagiarist’s Tale. Your blogging assignment is one reading response blog post.
Slides from today are available here.
See you Wednesday,
Prof. L.
