I had an ethics course. It was complete rubbish. It was shared with physics, and mostly about how global warming was a bad thing. There was a little bit about the philosophy of ethics, but there was nothing about general morality. I don't think the manhattan project even came up.
Worse, the course is so universally dismissed by students, they had to make attendance mandatory to get people to show up. Hence, no-one shows up with anything resembling good-will.
In the end, it is the most universally despised course in physics and maths that I know of. Heck, it made me care less about global warming that's how unsuccessful it was.
- unityByFreedom 9y agoThat's too bad. I enjoyed my college ethics course. The professor had been in international business and worked with all kinds of countries whose people expected bribes to do everyday business. The case studies were therefore super interesting and thought provoking. It was taught pretty open ended and there was never really a right or wrong answer. Your success depended on the strength of your argument.
- rocqua 9y agoThe quality of such a course depends very much on the attitude of the professor. In my case, it felt like the professor was glad to have another audience to preach to. I imagine he is the only professor enthusiastic about teaching this course.
- unityByFreedom 9y agoLol. Mine was enthusiastic too, due to his experience, and it was great. shrug
