Ever been in a class where the teacher asks if everyone understands something (and not everyone does), there's a few moments of silence, and then he or she moves on? Let's learn about effective teaching techniques such as how to check for understanding, how to give and receive feedback, how to create a culture of error, how to ask the right questions, and more.
H2242: The Existential Risk of Artificial Intelligence in Splash Fall 16 (Nov. 05, 2016)
Machine Intelligence is rapidly improving; the development of generally intelligent systems will transform society, the economy, and global politics. The potential benefits are tremendous, but so are the potential harms, probably greater than the risks from nuclear war and climate change. Are we at risk and if we are, what can we do about it? There will be an optional, but greatly appreciated, online (or physical if requested) survey before the class.

If there are 500 quintillion stars (plenty of them older than our sun) and a quarter of those are surrounded by planets that could harbor life then WHERE IS EVERYBODY!? This is Fermi's paradox. Come learn about the possible answers to Fermi's question and how long it would take to seek out alien life ourselves.
