Case Studies in Ethics
IDH 3930H Class Number: 93899
R 6:00-8:50 PM BHC 128
Case Studies in Ethics is an interdisciplinary, case
study approach to practical, contemporary ethical issues in a variety of
contexts. For example, ethical problems and dilemmas in education,
engineering, law, medicine, personal relationships, and politics, among
others, are included and serve as a basis for students to conduct
significant research on the cases. Among the requirements for the course
are position papers applying creative and critical thinking skills and
ethical concepts to the cases and in-class debates/ethics bowl practice.
Students will participate in the on-campus UCF Ethics Bowl competition, and
selected students may participate in the Southeast Regional Ethics Bowl on
the UCF team. It is possible that participation in the regional ethics bowl
will lead to an invitation to the national competition (which occurred last year).
