The Curricular Integration of Ethics

The author provides philosophical and pedagogical background to help faculty and academic administrators gain a better understanding of how to integrate ethics into curricula. He suggests that the most appropriate way is through instructor-guided discussion of ethical issues relevant to course objectives. This book demonstrates how providing ethical discussions of relevant ethical issues is an integral part of learning the course materials in ways that help students increase their critical ability to understand and apply course concepts to life. Many examples of ethics cases are provided.
