## Ethics
Ethics in information technology is of supreme importance. As we will learn later in this court, the value of information is supported by its Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability. If these attributes cannot be assured then users will lose faith in the information system and switch to other (possibly less secure) services. Information Technology professionals must always maintain a high moral standard so that users feel more assured that their data is not being compromised internally as well as externally.

In this class we will briefly cover five approaches to ethics, and three world-views that people take in their approach to ethics. This isn't a class on ethics so you will not be expected to know these things in great detail. 

## You're a WEIRD person (probably)
Basically we're all good people, and we want good things for those around us. Yet even in our own communities we often disagree about ethical decisions. And world wide there is even less agreement. Why is it that good people disag

This week is the start of grad school. Since I'm also working full time I decided to take it easy and only registered for two classes. I know that is a small sample size, but I'm pretty disappointed to learn that both of the classes have a lot of group projects involved in them. And I remember from my time as an undergrad student that (almost) every professor was assigning group projects too. Ugh group projects suck! I had hoped that I would be done with group projets when I left undergrad behind. Collaborative learning: the go-to pedagogy for lazy professors when service learning isn't available for some reason.

First, a distinction

I draw a distinction between group projects and group work. To me, a group project is a larger deliverable where the intent is that students will work together over a longer period of time. Group work, on the other hand, is what I call it when you have students break into smaller groups within the class period to discuss something amongst themselves and possibly produce a sho
