At the UC Berkeley School of Information, two educators have taken the initiative to begin incorporating data ethics considerations into Capstone, the final course of the Master of Information and Data Science. Professor Morgan Ames, who teaches Data Science 231: Behind the Data: Humans and Values, and lecturer Joyce Shen, the Capstone course lead, have created a partnership that allows students to regularly discuss and address issues regarding data privacy and customer information protection while students build their capstone project.

“I think this is an innovative approach to providing peer feedback; students in both courses benefit,” said interim dean Marti Hearst, who helped spearhead the collaboration.
