A634.9.5.RB_A Reflection of Our Learning

Key Lessons Learned

1. Everyone’s views on morals and ethics will be different
2. You are ultimately responsible for how people perceive you and your views
3. All of life’s choices have consequences

I don’t know if I knew what to expect going into this course but I think I saw it to be more focused on business ethics and morals instead of a combination of re-life issues/situations and how they affect how we are in the workplace. This change in events made the course more enjoyable and relatable. I find that ethics can be a tough and dry topic but this course wasn’t that way and the textbook made it very easy to understand how ethical topics can be understood in an application format.

I also found this course to be very rewarding and interesting. The topics covered in the textbook were different than what I had expected to learn about which really helped to change the learning experiences up. The only thing I didn’t like about this course was I found that the work was not evenly distributed in each module; this resulted in not being able to fully engage myself in each assignment. I also found that I didn’t get anything from the group project and I feel as though it should either be eliminated or revisited as it doesn’t fit into “ethics” as a subject.

How might the University or your instructor provide additional support for your learning?
I found that the interactions between the instructor and me were great and the instructor was present and available when students needed assistance. Being as this is an online course the interactions between instructors and students will be minimal and that is expected but I didn’t find there were any issues with the level of support provided.

Were there topics covered that seem particularly relevant or irrelevant to your experiences and to what you expect to come in future courses?
Relevant

• Ethical impulse
• Affirmative action
• Egoism

Irrelevant

• Gun control
• World Hunger

I understand that not all topics taught will be relevant to every person but I did find that most topics were interesting and something that I needed to learn more about for my current position and jobs that I would seek out in the future.

All in all I liked this course and I think it will offer a lot to students in the program going forward!
