I think this course may be of interest to cs students who are
concerned with the social implications of computers.

In the past, MS students in computer science have been able to get
credit for this undergraduate Sociology course, by special
arrangement.  Contact me if this might apply to you.

UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT BOULDER
DIVISION OF CONTINUING EDUCATION

Computer Technology and Human Values

Sociology 4071-3:  Technology and Modernization
Tuesdays, 6:30-9:30, September 3 - December 3, 1996

Instructor: Bill Moninger

This course is for people interested in humanities, social science,
engineering, and computer science.  Students will be encouraged to
draw on their unique backgrounds to develop a new appreciation of how
social and ethical values are shaping, and being shaped by advanced
technology.  A wide variety of viewpoints will enhance the ability of
the class to understand those human values that are likely to be most
important and helpful during a time of rapid social change.

We will take a critical look at advanced computer technology,
including the Internet and the World-Wide Web, and will examine
indirect as well as primary effects on individuals and society.  Case
studies of real ethical conflicts that have arisen around computers in
recent years will be studied, so that students can begin to refine
their ethical perspective.

Subject areas in which we will consider ethical and sociological
issues include:
        - electronic communities on the "Information Highway"
        - privacy and control of personal information
        - information access and intellectual property
        - protection of children, censorship and the Communications Decency Act
        - risk and responsibility
        - computers and human autonomy

Bill Moninger has been a physicist and computer scientist with the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for the past 20
years.  Prior to that he taught college physics after receiving his
Ph.D. at the University of Illinois.

        - "Excellent class.  I hope it is continued!  Dr. Moninger was
well prepared, presented well, and was attentive to class and
individual needs."

        - "I will recommend this course to many others.  I found it
one of the most interesting courses taken at CU."

        - "WONDERFUL course!!  Learned a lot, had a good time, gained
respect for classmates, and instructor."
