Title:
Data Ethics, Company Valuation, and International Business Speaker
Project Description:

Because the size of this UF course is so large, Professor Mocko offers her students a choice of four different international activities. Her students may choose to participate in any one of the four projects described below, which are each carried out with a different international partner and all happen within the same semester.

Project 1: Data Ethics-This project involves a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous activities, in which students read about data ethics and then defend their opinions on whether or not data was used ethically in a specific case.

Project 2: Data Ethics- In this assignment, students interact asynchronously to discuss data ethics.

Project 3: Company Valuation- In this activity, students compare the company valuations between a U.S. and a Colombian company.

Project 4: Speaker from International Business-The students listen to a presentation by an international businessman who works with data. After the lecture, the students pick a topic discussed in the lecture to investigate a little further. 

Learning Outcomes:

Project 2: Data Ethics
