62 Welcome to Data and Ethics

This module is a bit different than the typical module. We’ll be introducing ideas related to privacy and ethics in the context of data science. There are fewer Mason-created videos this week. Instead, this week is dedicated to your mid-semester check-in with Mason. The video playlist for this module can be accessed here. The slides used in the videos are available in the slides repo.
