This team-taught course will use a case-based format. Instructors will plan presentations around cases (either real cases or case scenarios). The goal is to encourage students to participate actively in discussion of issues. Faculty presentations will be brief, no more than 10 minutes in length. The role of the faculty is to present the complexities of the case; to briefly clarify relevant guidelines and regulations where appropriate; and to relate the responses of the students to the moral rules and to the concepts of morally prohibited, required, permitted, and encouraged behaviors. |
