CISC 270 - Cyberethics

Credit(s): 3
This course introduces students to the issues and controversies that comprise the relatively new field of Cyberethics. It treats Cyberethics as an interdisciplinary field of study and aims at addressing those in the computer science, information security and networking fields of study. This course covers introducing key concepts/terms, actual case examples and hypothetical scenarios involving privacy, security, intellectual property, and speech in cyberspace to illustrate ethical controversies that convey the seriousness of the issues under consideration. These concepts and cases receive reinforcement with review/study and discussion/essay questions to facilitate readers’ comprehension and reflection of ethical issues.
