Managing Resistance

While computing activities and labs incorporating ethical discussion/responsible computing or thinking are embraced by many of the students, there is a vocal group of students who do not feel that these themes are relevant to them, their training, and/or their future career goals.

Resistance to the computing curriculum incorporating ethics and responsible computing typically comes from two sides: students and faculty. Both students and faculty in computing may not “buy-in” into the idea of teaching and learning ethically/responsible computing-inclined material in their computing courses. An additional challenge may also come from faculty and students who are domain experts in areas such as ethics.
