These goals will be assessed through a written assignment and class participation. To meet these goals, students will consider in detail various ethical theories, in both their classical and contemporary expressions. Here are some of the theories that will be studied: egoism, ethical relativism, natural law theory, social contract theory, utilitarianism, Kantianism, and virtue theory. Drawing upon those theories, the student will prepare a written (4-6 typed MLA or CMS-style pages) paper in response to instructor directed questions that address current moral problems. Of particular importance is the student’s ability to use ethical reasoning to formulate reflective positions on some of the more pressing moral problems in contemporary society. Oral competency will be assessed through class participation. Satisfactory demonstration of these outcomes will be indicated by a score of 3 or higher on the assignment rubrics |
