PRAISE FOR THIS COURSE

"I found it helpful that we could ask questions as the presentation went on, rather than waiting towards the end. It was also helpful to address different ethical scenarios that aren't so black and white. The instructor gave solid examples of how to work through those grey areas."

- Denise Hartom

"The instructor gave concrete examples of ethical situations you may find yourself in, including personal ones, which was a helpful way to open things up."

- Dawn Campbell

"Breaking down the ethical dilemma from the instructor's experience was helpful for me. I can see how some situations can be very unsettling and difficult to process, creating a dilemma. The discussion with the instructor and other viewing members was also helpful."

- Gabrielle Fischer
