Take a deep dive into what it takes to become an effective, ethical and socially-aware computer scientist. We will look at best practices for studying in computer science courses (with an eye towards preparation for COMPSCI 187), as well as ethical considerations important to the computing professions and organizations doing computer science for the common good.
