While the facilities wereadequate, the lack of nearby restaurants and the need to set up and pack tents meant that we hadless time for travel and bridge visits. The lack of meeting facilities and internet access also meantthat we could not conduct class-related activities in the evening, though bonding around eveningcampfires proved to be a positive benefit. We were also lucky when it came to weather.September on the Oregon coast is often rainy, and the fact that we only had one rainy night withvery light rainfall was a blessing. We would likely

Appendix A to this paper contains the Enron case study. Initially, one 50-minuteclass period was devoted to the topic, but after several offerings of the course I have found itdesirable to increase the coverage to at least a class and a half. In the remainder of the paper, Iwill describe how the case study was used in class.Ethics Case StudyPrior to the class, I have the students answer several questions, anonymously.

liberative pedagogies calls forphysical spaces that allow for sharing of power.Recent research in the science of learning and teaching has demonstrated active learning as moreeffective in absorption and retention of knowledge and to promote life-long self-directed learning[22], [23]. Active learning centers the student and occurs on a continuum ranging from smallinteractive interludes in the lecture to inductive, problem-based, and cooperative learning overthe course of a semester as shown in Figure 3(a) [24]. It inevitably involves the instructorassuming the role of a facilitator with more active and supportive physical movements among thestudents thus disrupting the function of the panopticon.Liberative or engaged pedagogies entail examining the

No attempt wasmade to directly measure a difference in student learning outcomes or teamwork skills withversus without the course project. Dividing students into two cohorts and quantitatingstatistically significant differences in their learning or attributes while also controlling for othervariables such as instructor differences is challenging.
