My Goals and Concerns
My goals for this class is that I want to understand more about how people feel about ethics and if they want to change them. If they want to change them, then why do they want to change them, and what would they change them to. My only fears are that maybe the instructor does not put enough information out about the assignments on what should be done. That even after I contact the instructor and ask questions that I believe will help clarify the assignment, I still will not understand the concept behind the assignment and how I should go about writing or completing it to get the full credit on the assignment.
My other fear is that on team assignments, one or more of my fellow team mates do not put in the required work effort, and submitting the proper information making it so I, as well as the other team mates, have to put in more work and pick up the slack that the one or more students are not doing. I feel that when you are put on a team, everyone should pull equal weight. If you do not put in the effort then there was no point in even being in a group, let alone a group called a team. Online classes are different to me only because you do not see your fellow classmates on a weekly basis. Since I have never been in an online class, I am going be learning how to communicate efficiently with my fellow class mates, as well at my team mates when we are in a team. With it being all emails, I am afraid that maybe someone will send an email and it will get lost. Or they say they sent it and they are just using it as a cover up for not really even doing the homework. That is why I like to have a classroom structure, because you can tell if they are lying easier, and they should have a hard copy of what they did just in case.
According to Sam Scott of the Santa Clara Magazine, “Often students are asking questions about the ethical implications of practices that have become second nature to the person doing them.” I believe what he means is
