Dane is a perfectly fine professor. Lectures were a bit boring, but got the job done. If you take this class, I would recommend actually going to all the lectures and finding time to talk to Dane. It is definitely worth taking the time to get to know her.

I didn't really like the first few weeks of this class because there was technological issues, but it wasn't too bad after. The professor was very accomadating and nice. Some of the essay rubric makes no sense because I got very good and got 0.5 off so is the next thing on the rubric super good? Amazingly good? Overall pretty good ethics class.

She is super understanding, sweet, and tries to get to know students on a personal level. Topics were super interesting and important to explore. I recommend going to office hours to engage more with her and with content related to class material, as many of the philosophical topics around technology are so relevant to our lives now

She is extremely knowledgable and genuinely super nice. She is accommodating, giving extensions on both of our papers due to high exam volumes on the weeks they were initially due. The class itself can feel a bit disorganized and the lectures aren't especially interesting to most, but Dane isn't to blame for this. Also very responsive to emails.

Prof. Gogoshin is one of my favorite lecturers of my three years at Madison. It's easy to get help and if you actually talk to her she is one of the nicest and chillest professors ever. I agree that the class can feel a bit unorganized due to the large nature of the class but overall it was one of the most interesting humanities classes I've taken.

Amazing professor, not sure why she has multiple bad ratings. She is very knowledgeable on the topics and endorses discussion and discourse. Furthermore, she is very caring and understanding, if you have any problems you can go to her office hours and she will work with you personally to get you to the grade you want to be at.

Attendance not mandatory, but there are basically 6 "pop quizzes" that are unannounced(she does drop hints, every ~10 days). That's the only drawback, but otherwise very easy. 2 short essays that are very easy. boring class but she isnt helped by the subject. very liberal which is annoying. She brought up the racist bridge example w/o fact checking

Not sure what the current rating is all about. She's super knowledgeable, eloquent, and flexible--no penalties for tech issues, and she graciously moved due dates because of other midterms. If you actively participate, you're super likely to get extra grade-boosting opportunities--it is hard to run a huge class like a seminar. Kind, fun to talk to!

Her current rating is absolutely ridiculous - this was my favorite professor I've had at Madison. She even met with me during office hours to talk about completely unrelated topics from the material. Her lectures were always thought provoking, offering relevant material regarding data privacy. A true gift to have her here. Couldn't recommend more.

Dane has a habit of saying there's no correct answer and then making it very obvious what she thinks is the correct answer in a backhanded manner. Most of her class is lectures that drag for 75 minutes (with no recordings), a messy canvas page, and confusing guidelines on assignment expectations. She's manageable for a required class but not great

Leaving a review after seeing the worried Reddit post bc I think the previous reviewers are being a little unfair. This class was literally the easiest A I've had in a long while. Yes lectures were a little dry, but Dane is a kind person. I think she was just hoping for a more seminar-ish class format? But very difficult to do w such a large class.

Lectures were extremely boring. Most of the time, she just put an article up on the board. No visuals, no effort in creating an engaging environment. To make it worse, she made the lectures mandatory. Grading criteria was extremely unclear throughout the entire semester, and the syllabus constantly changed. Grading was fair and the TA was good.

Can't teach a big class. Massive discussion sections and then runs out of time because she spends too much time correcting students and going around the room, forcing participation. Mess of a class and a plan, has also revised the syllabus too many times throughout the semester.

Switched class layout (100 person lecture to a single huge discussion) regardless of students' opinions. Asked us at the beginning of the semester to fill feedback surveys; she stated in class "most of you don't like how the class is laid out, but I don't care and will do what I want to do." Doesn't take feedback well, why ask us for our opinion?
