After viewing the documentary, the students areprovided writing prompts that encourage reflection on the ethical issues raised in the film.Additionally, students are encouraged to explore and compose their own reflections on ethicalconsiderations.Writing Prompts:1) Research what protections exist for whistleblowers and briefly describe them.Research the risks for whistleblowers and describe them. Knowing the level of protection andrisks for whistleblowers, would you choose to whistleblow if in an unethical situation? If youwere in the whistleblower’s shoes, how would you choose to whistleblow? What choices do youhave? Would

To manipulate task value, the module hastutorials on two quite different topics that would have different levels of interest forstudents: osmosis and the Northern Lights. Before the task value tutorials, the moduleasks students to rate their interest in the two topics. We anticipated that the NorthernLights topic would be more interesting for most students, but it was not for all students,and it was not necessary for that to be the case. After completing the two tutorials thatinclude pre and post tests, students answer questions about their reflections on task value.For the control beliefs manipulation, the module includes two topics about which
