-# DS-2004
-This course will explore principles and applications of data ethics within a broader social framework that prioritizes conversations about policy, regulatory frameworks, accountability, transparency, and governance models. Thinking as data scientists, we will discuss who is responsible for doing responsible data science, question how our work shapes the world around us, and understand the impacts of big data on people and communities.

+## A Little Bit About the Course
+
+
+## What you’ll learn along the way
+
+...... Specific learning objectives are below (example from Foundations of ML):
+
+    Be able to describe the field of Data Science and its emerging sub-fields
+    Gain experience working in teams to solve Data Science problems
+    Gain experience communicating Data Science products
+    Articulate the advantages and disadvantages of selected ML approaches
+    Be able to select appropriate ML models given problems and data types
+    Understand the importance of and methods for evaluating ML models
+    Understand the negative outcomes associated with ML/AI bias and how they can be avoided
+
+The course will move rather quickly and can be demanding at times. However, if we all work together to support each other you’ll be amazed how much you learn at the end of the semester!

+## A few Policies that will Govern the Class
+
+Grading Policies: Courses carrying a Data Science subject area use the following grading system: A, A-; B+, B, B-; C+, C, C-; D+, D, D-; F.  The symbol W is used when a student officially drops a course before its completion or if the student withdraws from an academic program of the University.
+
+Grading Scale: 
+
+ - 93-100 A
+ - 90-92 A- 
+ - 87-89 B+
+ - 83-86 B 
+ - 80-82 B- 
+ - 77-79 C+ 
+ - 73-76 C 
+ - 70-72 C- 
+ - <70 F
+
+University of Virginia Honor System: All work should be pledged in the spirit of the Honor System at the University of Virginia. The instructor will indicate which assignments and activities are to be done individually and which permit collaboration. The following pledge should be written out at the end of all quizzes, examinations, individual assignments, and papers:  “I pledge that I have neither given nor received help on this examination (quiz, assignment, etc.)”.  The pledge must be signed by the student. For more information, visit www.virginia.edu/honor.

Any SCPS student with a disability who needs accommodation (e.g., in arrangements for seating, extended time for examinations, or note-taking, etc.), should contact the Student Disability Access Center (SDAC) and provide them with appropriate medical or psychological documentation of his/her condition. Once accommodations are approved, just follow up with me concerning any logistics and implementation of accommodations.  Please try to make accommodations for test-taking at least 14 business days in advance of the date of the test(s). Students with disabilities are encouraged to contact the SDAC: 434-243-5180/Voice, 434-465-6579/Video Phone, 434-243-5188/Fax.
