Only for Sec 03 - MONDAY/WEDNESDAY students.
Good afternoon everyone,
As you know, there will be no class tonight at UMass. In order to maintain our schedule despite the snow day, you can find your instructions below:
1. Finish the weekly paper which will be due next class (Feb 10). This is the typed one! Paper specifications can be found here.
2. Hold on to your daily homework - the notes of your thoughts regarding the "a/b/c" situations - for next time.
3. Review these notes*, just as you would in class. Note that most of the mid-term material is toward the end, but that doesn't mean you should skip the other info - ESPECIALLY if you are not reading along in the textbook for whatever reason.
*Please do not share these notes on other sites or print them. You will have access to them in more controlled circumstances when Blackboard is operational, at which point you may print them.
Homework for next time - Feb 10 - (daily homework, in notes, not typed unless you want to):

Homework for next time - Feb 10 - (daily homework, in notes, not typed unless you want to):
a) A member of the Tampa City Council described the camera and face recognition system installed in a neighborhood as “a public safety tool, no different from having a cop walking around with a mug shot.” Is he right? What are the similarities and differences, relevant to privacy, between those two situations?
b)A disgruntled employee of a county health department sent a confidential file containing the names of about 4,000 AIDS patients to a newspaper. What are some ways to prevent such leakages of information?
c)Is there information that you have posted to the Web that you later removed? Why did you remove it? Were there consequences to posting the information? Have you seen information that others have posted about themselves that you would not reveal about yourself? Why post personal issues? Is that goal met?
If you have the book, begin reading chapter 3.
