Some student feedback indicated that students wanted an opportunity to voicetheir opinions. Student B, Spring 2004, stated a need for “more discussion during ethics”(portion of the class). Page 12.847.5To stimulate more discussion amongst all students the following changes were made.First, instead of an individual assignment, the students are now required to work ingroups. This has two effects. It limits the number of duplicate cases that can be presentedbut it also forces students to discuss their positions in

Similarly, under the“sweaty palms” test, if a given action, behavior or decision makes you intuitively uncomfortable– gives you sweaty palms – you should consider that unease as a symptom calling for theapplication of ethical thought.There are three additional examples in the lecturer’s deck of slides.

At the same time, the qualitativedata did not provide very clear support of why several other items were flagged by the PCFA. Inaggregate, it is believed that this analysis generated enough insights into the items flagged by thePCFA to make targeted and evidence-based changes to some of the items of the EERI.

In this section,the following ethical theories will be briefly reviewed: (a) Consequence-based ethics(Utilitarianism), (b) deontology (duty-based ethics), (c) virtue-based ethics, and (d) ethics of care(care ethics). In consequence-based ethics, “the morality of an action … is determined solely by itsconsequences” (Boss, 2013, p. 23). Deontology, on the other hand, has to do with the belief that“doing what is right for its own sake, is the foundation of morality” (Boss, 2013, p. 27). Virtue isdefined as: “an admirable character trait … in a manner that benefits ourselves and others” andincludes characters such as “compassion, courage, generosity, loyalty, and
