    This course covers legal and ethical issues in data analysis, and touches on specific areas where data analysis is used such as employment and school admissions. It also prescribes lab exercises, which I am not sure are that important to the concepts to be taught.

    Nonetheless, this is an area that is developing and is very interesting. It could have been very interesting. Unfortunately the lecturers were very dry and boring, it felt like they were reading off a book which I could read myself. I dropped out after an hour into lectures.
