There are two competencies that must be addressed to successfully complete the Ethical Judgment area. A few examples of where you can find evidence to address these competencies include but are not limited to reflections on academic integrity vignettes, work samples illustrating application of ethical principles, certificate of completion of human subjects training, reflection on your activities in creative inquiry or service learning and essays submitted to the Ethics Across the Curriculum essay contest.
The objectives that should be addressed include:
- Demonstrate knowledge of what ethics is and is not, its relation to academic integrity and its importance as a field of study
- Demonstrate understanding of common ethical issues and construct a personal framework in which ethical decisions can be made in a systematic, reflective and responsible way.
These General Education competencies are "distributed" competencies – they are not gained in any one specific course. You will collect your best examples from many courses and activities during your time at Clemson University. Be on the lookout for these in each course.
