Thus, all of the class activities are designed to help you learn. I make intensive use of classroom discussions and analytical writing assignments. You will be given many opportunities to express your views regarding the impact of computerization on economy and labor markets, work life, public safety, consumer rights, intellectual property, individual privacy, social stratification, democracy, education, gender bias, national security, health, and so on. You will be expected to participate actively in discussions. On any given issue, you may be asked to summarize and criticize reading assignments from the text or articles that you have read.
All assignments are due at the beginning of the class period in hard copy for full credit.
Electronic submissions will not be accepted. Assignments turned in after the beginning of class period and until the end of the class day are considered one day late. After the class day, no assignments are accepted until the next class period. Assignments turned in at the next class period are considered two days late. A student failing to submit any assignment will receive a zero for that assignment.
