Value-Sensitive Design Class

At first I want to give you an overview of what is written in the course catalog of Vienna University of Economics and Business:

Learning Outcomes: After attending this course, students will be able to:
 * Explain the history, goals, and philosophical underpinnings of Value-Sensitive Design.
 * Describe current practices and approaches in Value-Sensitive Design.
 * Apply Value-Sensitive Design to the analysis of an existing system and to the design of a new system.

In addition, this course fosters the following soft skills:
 * Participating in a group.
 * Making informed written and oral arguments.

From my point of view this is a very interesting but hard class. The instructor, Sameer Patil, is very friendly but requires a lot of students' engagement. In fact students hold the whole course. During the lesson Sameer only comments on what students are doing and saying. You also have to do a lot of homeworks but grading of this course is rather fair. 3,5 ECTS points are certainly too less for this effort.

So I recommend this course only to those who are interested in this topic.
