Ethical Practice in the Disciplines - What do Students Need to Understand?What are ethics? How are they different from morals? Should our students be apprised of the underlying values of ethics and social justice? What does ethical practice mean in the study of a discipline, and the preparation for work?
During this workshop, participants will discuss questions such as these and consider how appropriate it is for us to engage students in the discourse, and to develop the skills of ethical decision-making and behaviour. Practical strategies will be discussed, and contextualised by the participants.

The Outstanding Teachers presenting during the second session are:
Dr Michael Roberts – Department of Modern History; I saw clearly that twenty-six hours of taped lectures plus a teacher-dominated online bulletin board was not the way to go.
Ms Leonie Tickle – Department of Actuarial Studies; I believe that students have gained even greater benefit from the group presentations with the recent introduction of non-assessable peer-feedback.
Dr Malcolm Voyce – Department of Law and Justice; I encourage students to develop their own ideas and to articulate their position clearly. I try to use the class experience to bring out a discussion on difficult social issues.
