Editing Human Centered Data Science (Fall 2018)/Assignments (section)

=== Weekly reading reflections ===
This course will introduce you to cutting edge research and opinion from major thinkers in the domain of human centered data science. By reading and writing about this material, you will have an opportunity to explore the complex intersections of technology, methodology, ethics, and social thought that characterize this budding field of research and practice. 

As a participant in the course, you are responsible for intellectually engaging with ''all assigned readings'' and developing an understanding of the ideas discussed in them.

The weekly reading reflections assignment is designed to encourage you to reflect on these works and make connections during our class discussions. To this end, you will be responsible for posting reflections on the previous week's assigned reading before the next class session.

There will generally be multiple readings assigned each week. You are responsible for reading ''all of them.'' However, you only need to write a reflection on '''one reading per week.''' Unless your instructor specifies otherwise, you can choose which reading you would like to reflect on. 

These reflections are meant to be succinct but meaningful. Follow the instructions below, demonstrate that you engaged with the material, and turn the reflection in on time, and you will receive full credit. Late reading reflections will never be accepted.

;Instructions
# Read all assigned readings.
# Select a reading to reflect on.
# In at least 2-3 full sentences, answer the question "How does this reading inform your understanding of human centered data science?"
# Using full sentences, list ''at least 1 question'' that this reading raised in your mind, and say ''why'' the reading caused you to ask this question.
# Post your reflection to Canvas before the next class session.

You are encouraged, but not required, to make connections between different readings (from the current week, from previous weeks, or other relevant material you've read/listened to/watched) in your reflections.
