All right Hello
How's everyone today
so I want to underscore the word preliminary or emphasize that or
underscore is emphasizing limitary
Okay so I said I would give you grades today I have we'll see
this suddenly change go up but these are the results from the
scanning drawings
so those are there so the other thing was about the camera we
talked about this camera and I don't know if there's another
one
so what does that sign mean to you attention cameras
operational during this exam period
seemed like it's on now
we turned it on, we turned it on.
Are you able to turn it on?
No
I can. I went. So I asked what was formerly known as ad
services. We'll have the camera because I thought this would be
a good thing to turn on during the exam. One of the rumors back
almost to capacity. They said no, we don't do those cameras.
We have to talk to Protective Services, which is the new name
for campus security. So I made some inquiries there and let's
see what we can do with him.
would ask how to request to be turned on for exams can I see a
sample of the video
learn that it's always on for safety reasons so
no fly became agitated because of my frustration with you our
courses groups
and you were worried for your safety cameras they're being
monitored at protective services
so the reason I mentioned your courses or groups it was not
straightforward
to take the individual groups and put them together I thought
after a while I would become better at it
it's missing a button or two I think maybe combine groups
anyway you don't have to worry about that. So is there anyone
who submitted assignment one for the infographic
Yeah, I know last people submitted where you indicate
your group on your submission but you haven't set it up and
you haven't indicated through me working horses to set up set it
up with your horses so if anyone indicated your group only in the
submission send me a note so I can set it up in your courses
because I will make it go more smoothly.
So I don't want to think that you're not safe here with me I
don't want to even raise that possibility.
Sure you the policy for filming on campus or the closed circuit
TV policy
So here's the policy to which I was referred by Protective
Services
installation use of video surveillance systems
see if we have questions about the camera after skimming this
policy describes it so describes acceptable installation and use
of video surveillance and view of our cameras can provide a
visual deterrent to crime right protection of people and
property assistant overall security and increase the
likelihood of identifications of persons who made reach
university policies and or committed crimes
so they don't mention academic misconduct in particular but
that would fall under the identifications of persons who
may breach university policies
video surveillance equipment view a bar to assist in efforts
to maintain the personal safety of students and staff on the
public university campuses to assist with the application of
university policies with regard to university property and the
Property Brothers to provide a visual deterrent to crime to
increase the length
to assist in practice okay personal information contained
on the recording shall not be used or disclosed for purposes
other than describing this policy cetera
so senior administrators or designee will have access to
view any video surveillance information available for that
area only for the purposes which supported the installation
so the answer I've asked protective services when I asked
whether there is video of the town whether they say that you
told me that request has to come from the dean's office so we're
very protective of that video which is reasonable.
Should feel safe that protective services is rigged protecting
the surveillance footage but.
There or if there should be a way to say exams in this room
are going to be recorded and made available to the instructor
for review
so this is it's actually more of a cabinet installation than the
news service services is more interested in crimes deaths and
so on
well
maybe if you're interested in this then
there anyone else on campus
yes
so I just did a question booklet
was for today it looks like there were no questions posted
or not getting marked off it was just not counted.
I will add I will make the quiz available I will get to quizzes
and seven one next day
thinking about besides being being new and managing groups I
thought let people focus on getting the assignments sorted
out first.
Anyway,
So I thought maybe we have a group discussion on this topic
that question what does it mean to be a sustainable practitioner
or professional
that's a good question Is that clear enough
Okay shall we begin
What's Up All right
thanks is obviously
Better
you showing up last last year for extra set up See you soon
babies
you seen some trends point is
yours next section
I suppose that's all so, yes sir I
literally put them underneath the TV
you ever
seen
for watching
day to the fact that summer has
blossomed philosophers call strategist also suffers
from
really freaked
out get an edge and being able
to branch out
this
video basic is sense
like they were
like
there was like to be seen as
a failure for all the rest
so glad you're here Good to
see you
for more discussion continue for a few minutes
okay I want to do three more minutes and then last session
see there's
a lot of police
officers
morning I am live here noticed
is definitely I like
to do exactly what it was
just like
this segments
for us
trying to get around these organizations are also making a
huge loss just because he
or she can't
possibly
together me thoughts about what it means to be a sustainable
practitioner or professional
brand officer obsolescence
All right obsolescence I don't think so correct well I'm not
sure that it's spelled correctly so the idea is we also design
products to be
exposed to yours iPhones or other smartphones it's very
attractive to think about getting the latest and greatest
technology but the frustrating so I'm on this treadmill is
updating phones every couple of years because my family is
interested in and
anyway the thing that was frustrating it's an old phone
and a new phone I can't use no pigs because there's one
measurement the camera just off by a millimeter it's so go
places and fit the basic dimensions of a full member
saying suddenly the details aren't so considering how to
design products so that way we're not creating more jobs to
be processed and recycled.
So another example of last lesson so I guess it's my old
MacBook words from 2017. And became unable to be updated, but
I couldn't get the latest version of Java system installed
on the laptop because it didn't have the minimum requirements
anyone have experience with that as it goes or Mac
Moore's Law Section right
the same more, more or more.
I guess the way it goes is that every, whatever 18 months, you
double your computing power or something. And so over the
course of five years, you're gonna have 32 times more power,
I guess.
But yeah, essentially your old computer gets exponentially
slower. So they have been cut off at some point because
they're trying to program for their new machines.
So, how many people have switch their computers to Linux instead
of Windows or Mac OS hello people are here anyone else
that being a sustainable practitioner
So, what about supporting open source projects more generally
is that an aspect of sustainability
of supporting sustainable alternatives
this side of the room many discussions to share for me the
sessions about being sustainable practitioner in information
technology a lot of environmental impact happens at
the level of corporate organizations so, senior
practitioners inside of the software
so I'm paraphrasing a little bit but of course within industry to
change the culture
okay anyone else
this is a safe space
safe space to consume camera and I hope I asked you to do that as
well
anyway, I'm not going to twist arms just have a mental picture
of me going down the aisles and twisting arms
anyway
so I heard about this organization on the podcast What
on earth? And CDC? We're talking about
raising climate stories into film. So they did a test that we
had the film was heard today by this current film set on Earth.
Is was there a mention about climate change? And so they
tested the Oscar nominated films. And for me, is one of the
paths because there's a reference to
film killing the planet. So that was a way to raise the issue to
movie did anyone watch the Oscars on Sunday night?
Ryan Gosling and number boys seeing the clip
we're working. I'm going to show you this first. So the question
is to think about, can we do something like this to help
people raise the profile of sustainability in computing?
And I'm certainly going to be through in 10 years, it's been
just so hoarse from our lives climate. I mean, shooting
burglar everyday conversation, right, good
energy strives to inspire courage to face Crisis. They
will also provide tools and support for those brave enough
to tell these essential stories.
We're here tonight to ensure that we are reframing the
climate crisis in a way that people are at the center of the
shore, especially black and brown, and did this and our
mission is to inspire, support and accelerate stories in
scripted television that reflect the world that we live in now
and help imagine a better future, but we're missing the
stories that can help us navigate it. The purpose of the
playbook is to change that. We wrote the playbook to help
explore the endless ways the climate crisis can be portrayed
on screen, from casual admissions to using climate as
character drive. In fact,
USC analyzed over 37,000 stretch from 2016 to 2020, and found
that only 1046 That's 2.8% of the scripts included any climate
change towards 2.8%. staggeringly low,
acknowledging the climate crisis in our stories will help
audiences process their own difficult emotions. We need to
talk about it in our stories so that we can talk about it in a
real way. And the most important thing that you can do for the
climate is to write a damn good story, because
every story right now, that stuff climate change, stories
shape our society, they shape our policies, and they have the
potential to make the impossible. Feel tangible. This
playbook is a tool extender provides you with the
inspiration or guidance that you need to write powerful clients
towards climate change is an unprecedented challenge and
surviving and thriving will require unprecedented
creativity. This is probably one role of a lifetime.
You wouldn't recognize Bill Nye the Science Guy
Okay,
Saved My Life So?
Evening Right What is sustainability pink sparkles
anyway any other requests video
So Barbie passed the test this year when they were talking
about climate related mentions
so are this just ideas to do something similar in computing
so that we can raise the profile of these issues
what is EDI stands for
know Ed or I could say and we'll fill it out
counting the number of blacks in the board
so I don't spend all the time doing a six letter word sorry II
end and
alternative information
use last
Hi
up what is that birthday what is
diversity inclusions
yes this is
I'll take social metrics 400
Thanks for playing over there
okay so what does that do diversity and inclusion has to
do with sustainability
We're designing software and systems and we're making made
sure to design the most vulnerable but also so that
we're thinking about our population of users or
stakeholders as being the entire population so when you think
about designing software
think about it in terms of inclusion not integration or
segregation or exclusion
right so maybe you can say manage
separately so we're not leaving particular group might be
underrepresented so we focus on making sure that everyone's
representative and so don't leave somebody else to
consideration
so thinking about going back to Planned Obsolescence many laptop
has one one terabyte of disk space solid state disk so I
think Sure, I can create files that are gigabytes large because
I can have a terribly if I thought like that too much I
wouldn't have much left on my desk
so as we're getting more and more capabilities
are demands on the increase. So in computer graphics sleeves,
this is not just an example whatever the heart, you say,
whatever the hardware rendering a high quality image so the
capability of computers have grown a great deal over the
years, but the algorithms become more sophisticated and realistic
as an example so
another example of cars and say cruise control systems lets you
drive more quickly steering capabilities in cars and make
them safe for the officer that is that you can drive real
quickly.
So, you may not realize the safety benefits because as much
as you do otherwise, because people are pushing the limits
so maybe we need to think about when is when things are enough
session on how to reduce instead of more Save
as much as possible with the pay bills we have now
I just said it's
again
okay
so, one can 115 I guess if you can could there be more focus on
resources so, you're thinking about using things efficiently
and you're writing code
not just those class with other ones
I think it was a few lessons proper data types and do not use
up all your storage which kind of complicated
so, we have this question
could you see us classes
so, maybe think about the higher level classes
so, it used to be the garbage collection and so on was the
topic that programmers have to be more concerned about. But
now, some of those details are hidden to handle the black
language environment
anyone want to have a lot of thought about ways to increase
the profile sustainability in CS classes here
more or less can draw complete PDF
so, the question is so can we read information that's out
computing is a more sustainable alternative.
Okay another time I guess great
to see
Take care

Responses

What important concept or perspective did you encounter today?

Today I learnt about sustainability in computing professions.
what DEI stands for: Equity, Diversity, Inclusion
not really
All of the discussed topics today
The most important topic i encountered today was how important diversity is to technology. Diversity and inclusion are important due to innovation and ethical reasons
Regarding inclusion, diversity, and equity and how these concepts help design for the most vulnerable user.
we learned that equity, inclusion and diversity is what helps us create sustainability for technology
inclusion, diversity and equity in information technology.
Sustainability for a professional
Today I encountered the concept of sustainability. We discussed what it means to be a sustainable practitioner or profession
we learned equity, inclusion and diversity because its part of the code of ethics to create technology for the most vulnerable person
Sustainability in computing
everyting
importance of equity, diversity and inclusion for sustainability for technology was a significant perspective i have encountered today.
How the film industry need to do more by incorporating green energy/climate change issues into their story line in movies.
Got to know about the good energy stories which raises awareness about the climate change in movies.
equity
about good energy
Today we talked about the midterm grades, quizzes, etc
busers are using technology, like e-transfers, to continue their abuse, stressing the importance of banks and police taking action to stop this kind of violence.
I learned that equity, inclusion and diversity helps us create sustainability for technology as it helps us keep in mind to create technologies for the most vulnerable person.
Use of equity in ethics
While talking with my group about sustainability, we sparked up a conversation about NFTs and how they were very popular a few years ago. I thought it was interesting because we both understood what made NFTs appealing while also acknowledge the harm they can have on the environment just to produce and maintain.
An important point was how planned obsolescence is an unsustainable practice for tech professionals. And that I’m just Ken
equity, inclusion and diversity
I encountered new perspectives about environmental impact and sustainability in the information tech world. There are many ways that the world can improve the outlook on sustainable tech.
I found the concept of diversity interesting, I think it was cool to see how it was related to something that’s big in the media such as the Barbie movie.
Midterm
Nothing
Always being watched
Sustainability as a computer professional
Midterm result
Today I encountered the concept of equality, diversity, and inclusion, as it relates to current world technology.
An important perspective I encountered today was perspective that Dr. Hepting said about using resources sustainably. The analogy he used was if you use a GB for each project but you have a TB of space your space will fill up quite quickly and is not sustainably long term. It gave me the perspective to try and allocate resources effectively for my projects I can be a sustainable computer professional and help contribute to a more sustainable future for computing.
not really
No
sustainability
the camera is always on not only during the exams
The concepts were pretty interesting
equity, inclusion and diversity
sutainability
Important topic was about midterm and other small topic about course
I've come to understand that fostering equity, inclusion, and diversity is pivotal for ensuring the sustainability of technology.
the idea of sustainability being important in the sense that if we want to continue to work with great technology, we need find a way to preserve it.
Today we talked about Sustainability, I think it is very important for computer science because we should have it in mind when coding! we should be making sure that our coding is sustainable for the future by making code modular, updating it regularly, documentation to name a few ways to keep our code sustainable and easier to use in the future.
midtim exam
I learned more about how ethics are deeply interrelated with Computer Science
The idea of sustainability in technology
Sustainability, DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion)
We learnt about how the cameras arent only rolling when the exams are taking place but they are in general always recording.
I learned that the cameras in the lecture theatre are always on which may make some students uncomfortable
We had a group discussion about how to be sustainable and we learned a new acronym EDI. Equity, diversity and inclusion.
What it means to be a sustainable professional
We discussed about cameras and dioscussed about midterm grades and how the paper has been checked
I learnt about Sustanability and learnt from the videos played in class.
The movie lol
equity, inclusion and diversity is what helps us create sustainability for technology
It was about concepts of ethics and some more in depth sources
The important about today's class is midterm grades I think.
Some more detail knowledge about youtube
we watched an informational video about risk of internet
Today we learned about sustainability and how it can be used for professional ethics.
Today, we talked about sustainability, and we also talked about how we can be sustainable in our professions. We also discussed movies that promoted sustainability, including Barbie.
Today we discussed the topic of sustainabillity and addressing climate in tech/computer science. We talked about planned obsolescence and discussed what it means to be a sustainable practitioner. One important idea was the question of "How can we incorperate sustainabillity or address climate in other CS classes?".
Today the midterm results were announced
An important concept I have discovered today was how we need to make computer science classes teach more about efficiency and sustainability.
Today i learned about sustanability and sustainability issues
Youtube and stuff
There was not important concept did I encounter today
surveillance capitalism
Quality of risks in day to day life
how to push climatic concerns regarding computing into main stream
Today's meeting consisted of going over the UR Policies, the idea of sustainability and avoiding planned obsolescence, Moore's law, Ryan Gosling's performance at the Oscars, and EDI hangman. I think the most valuable topic we went over today is the idea of sustainability and how we can apply it as computing professionals. We were asked if our CS classes could put a bigger emphasis on sustainability and I think it is most definitely a concept that has not posed as much of an issue before, but could be.
Review some questions
About
That the cameras in the classroom are always recording
Equity, inclusion and diversity is what helps us create sustainability for technology and also part of the code of ethics to create technology for the most vulnerable person
who is ken
Being a sutainable profession or practitioner
No
equity ,inclusion and diversity
the camera is always watching
Today we talked about the cameras in class and our security. Also we watched Ryan gosling.
equity, inclusion and diversity
Efforts never go waste
the camera is always watching
a couple important concept we encountered today was equity, inclusion, and diversity. how they create sustainability for technology and how they are part of the code of ethics in creating technology for vulnerable people. An example we talked about in class was Barbie and how it promotes feminism. A question the lecture left us on was what can we do to promote a cause like what the Barbie movie did.
the camera is always watching
part of the code of ethics is to create technology for the most vulnerable people
The concept of sustainability is really worth paying attention to. In today's world, marketing companies do not give enough thoughts to their products regarding sustainability.
An important perspective I encountered today was sustainability and how we can implement it into software as well.
I'm just Ken was the highlight of my day. Ryan Gosling is what the world needs in todays day and age
learned about equity, inclusion and diversity and its usage in code of ethics to create technology for the most vulnerable person
Today I was impressed by raising the polite of sustainable issues
Sustainability.
Equity and Diversity are important because we have ethical obligation to provide technologies
-
The Oscar's video
nothing much important
I got to know about what does sustainability mean as a professional .
Cameras are everywhere and its kind of scary to think that in the future we might not have an option but to have all our data out in public.
The concept of sustainability, programmers should be concerned with the efficiency and waste of how they practice and work. Sustainable programmers ensure the safety and longevity of information society
.
Equity, inclusion, and diversity is what helps make technology sustainable (just like Barbie)
we learnt more about the topic discussed in previous lectures
Today’s lecture was interesting….
theme
That the cameras in CL 110 are on all the time and the sign under it is very misleading.
I encounter about the AI pros and cons while discussing in our groups.
we watched Oscars and ryan gosling performance video
Today was pretty exciting class, we watched Ryan Goslings performance.
Nope
more knowledge about the topics of last class
Midterm grades
An important perspective I learned today was the importance in sustainability in our future's technology. We learned this through watching Barbie and realized that Equity, Diversity and Inclusion is the key to further progressing technology for most especially the most vulnerable person.
The importance of ethics
Cips visit on 21
History
I learned that equity, inclusion and diversity is what helps us create sustainability for technology
I learned about EDI (Equity, Diversity, Inclusion) and its impact in computing (specifically the code of ethics).
lots of
The important topic that was discussed was about sustainability and issues related to that.
Today I learned that we use equity, inclusion and diversity because its part of the code of ethics to create technology for the most vulnerable person
An important concept I encountered today was the acronym EDI, which stands for equity, diversity, and inclusion. This acronym is a conceptual framework that helps to foster sustainability for the information society. It also helps us devise balanced technologies for those with vulernabilites.
