In-class Discussions
CSC208—Elliott
For each official discussion listed in the calendar:
- Put your name at the top. Use the name of the discussion topic
as the title. Outline form of your aguments is fine as long as you are clear.
- Give the action being proposed.
- Write up one page of background notes to prepare for your ethical
discussion:
- Relevant technical information
- Your gut feeling about the ethically questionable action
- For each of the four theories, say whether the action is ethical,
and give the interesting details of why
- Submit to D2L the evening before.
- Print six copies of your notes and bring them to class.
- Always come to class on discussion days because attendance is
taken. These discussions cannot be made up.
In class you will share your written and then spoken ideas in a discussion
group. Be prepared to take differing ethical points of view. It is ALWAYS a
good idea to consider taking a discussion/debate possition other than the
one you truly believe in. These are exercises!
We will also have additional less formal disussions in class.
