This paper describes an advertising ethics course designed for first-year students of any major, written from the perspectives of both the course creator/instructor and the students who took the course and developed a workshop based around it. As educators, how do we help students learn and care about how their data is collected and used and further understand the ethical issues of these practices? Our goal is to raise awareness for data rights issues by helping students from a variety of educational disciplines make informed decisions using experiential learning opportunities that display the importance of data in society.
