COMP7004 Class 01.2

We started a bit late to give students time to arrive. However thanks to the snow and ice this morning only five students made it to class.

We watched a video about credit reports in the US.

We discussed how the situation is better in Europe due to Data Protection laws. Data Protection is one of the topics we will discuss in this module.

I gave out paper copies of the module descriptor and talked a bit about the assessment for this module.

Following on from today's class I asked student to read these articles:
Big Brother, Meet Big Data: China Invents the Digital Totalitarian State, The Economist, 17 Dec 2016
Could a Bank deny Your Loans Based on Your Facebook Friends, The Atlantic, 25 Sep 2015
