• The course had a good amount of variety when it came to ethics issues and experiences months ago. I felt like I was part of the content, I liked that.

• I often think of Ethics as simply black and white, not really how close to the line I am. So being far into the Onside wasn’t something I thought of before.

• The idea of minimum acceptable level of conduct brings it home, sometimes you may be close to the line, but what sort of example does that set?

• Overall, the course was very good. There is a lot of content.

• Lively ethics course with a surplus of real-life examples that almost everyone can relate to’
