Course Continuity
Students are encouraged to stay home if you are ill or experience flu-like symptoms. If you miss a class for any reason, it is still your responsibility to make up the work missed.
I offer the following to students who miss class due to illness:
- If you are absent, due to illness or some other unavoidable circumstance, email me and I can ask for volunteers among your classmates to share their notes with you.
- I will make PowerPoint slides or other class materials routinely available on the course site to everyone in the class.
- Please make an appointment to meet with me and I will review/answer questions about what you missed.

What makes for a properly designed product? What are technologists’ responsivities for ensuring system security and protecting user privacy? What are the limits does intellectual property place on product design and technologists’ latitude to experiment with technologies? What are the proper bounds of nondisclosure and noncompete agreements? Introduction to Technology Law and Ethics is an innovative course that provides students with key legal and ethical principles that technology professionals, engineers, and high-tech entrepreneurs need to know. The course presents issues from the bottom up, the way a practicing technologist would experience them, using in-depth classroom discussion exploring real, current, and cutting edge examples. This section satisfies the Engineering Ethics Requirement for CIS students.
