Learner Reviews & Feedback for Data Science Ethics by University of Michigan

This is really a great course. It is a starting point for anyone who want to get deeper into Data Science Ethics. Even if I feel that I am fairly familiar with the topic, I learned a lot and particular the case studies were really great. It should be a must for anyone in Data Science.

This couse presented some interesting case studies, but never presented a real ethical system. In particular, the instructor frequently equated ethical behavior with socially acceptable behavior (this activity by corporation x was unethical because it resulted in public outcry). Someone with a background in ethics really should have been consulted in course developement.

On a purely practical matter, the ta did not seem to have any training in ethics at all. He just responded to every comment in the discussion area with a "what about" statement that sounded like it came straight from a late night dorm room bs session.

Short, but great course for beginners that gives interesting perspectives on some ethical matters in data science.

Terrific course reviewing the ethical considerations surrounding use of big data.

Taking course showed me the usually neglected ethics of Data. Simple yet very vital.

Excellent Course!

Absolutely delightful to have Professor Jagadish walking us through the course. The course was informative and very stimulating. Opens up to a new world of data science ethics. Thank you!

As I expected, the course provided me a lot of food for thought.

The aspect that I appreciated most was the necessity, as an Italian legal privacy counsel, to put aside my legal and GDPR background, and to think in a “more ethic manner”. This kind of approach permitted me to view the EU General Data Protection Regulation with new eyes, finding some aspects about that Regulation that I think could be improved.

Very relevant and interesting course. I recommend it.

It is quite amazing I took this course. I was able to apply it to other scenarios in my personal online life.

liked the case study at end of each topic

Definitely a good choice fo the beginners in this topic. Highly recommended for the Europeans as the American regulations differ and the course covers most of them. Interesting reading materials that encourage to do research on your own.

I liked this course very much and Data Science Ethics explained very nice manner. I will recommend to join this course.

Very informative and enough case studies to show examples. Highly recommended for data scientists.

I like to think I'm an ethical person, but this course challenged me about some biases I hadn't even considered. It's a well presented course that won't demand that you put hours and hours in every week.

Really liked the way the info was presented.

This course is short, slow, and easy, but I ranked it five stars because the content is important in today's growing reliance on data science.

I really enjoyed the material and the way it was presented. Even though I am not new to the topic, still more avenues and perspectives were supported with very good examples. Very refreshing.
