58 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 videos this week. Instead, this week is dedicated to your mid-semester check-in with Mason. Please take the time to watch the video and review the accompanying notes. The video playlist for this module can be accessed here. The slides used in the videos are available in the slides repo.
