The Module

Group support for ST313 Ethics for Data Science at LSE

Examines ethical issues arising from data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence. Students use philosophical, legal and professional frameworks to analyse privacy, fairness, accountability, bias and the wider social consequences of data technologies.

Our ST313 group sessions are designed to make the module feel more manageable. Sessions can focus on clarifying lecture material, rebuilding foundations, working through problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions, and developing a clearer strategy for revision and assessed work.

Because everyone in the group is studying the same LSE module, sessions stay closely focused on the particular methods, notation and types of question students encounter in ST313.

What students often find difficult
  • Understanding the main concepts without losing sight of the bigger picture
  • Applying the theory to problem sets, data exercises, coding tasks and exam-style questions
  • Knowing how much detail is expected in assessed answers
  • Building a clear revision plan when the module starts to feel cumulative

Working in a small group also gives students the opportunity to see how others approach the same problem and to learn from questions they may not have thought to ask themselves.

How the sessions can help
  • Reviewing the intuition behind the core methods
  • Working through problem sets step by step
  • Interpreting output, results and applied examples
  • Building confidence with exam-style questions
  • Focusing on the exact parts of ST313 that the group finds unclear

The aim is not simply to work through solutions, but to make sure students understand the methods well enough to apply them independently.

Topics we can cover

Ethical frameworks
Data privacy
Algorithmic fairness
Accountability
Bias
Social consequences of data technologies
