Ethics...?

On Friday, we are having an in-class writing assignment on "ethics." Dr. Jackson made it sound like we'd be selecting some sort of controversial topic and writing on it. Oh no... Anyway, she told us to read chapter 9, "Ethics and Scientific Communication" to prepare. I read it. It was all about Professional Ethics, as in honesty in reporting and not messing up your statistics on purpose to skew data one direction. That's a totally different type of ethics! So what kind of ethics are we supposed to be writing on, Social or Professional!? O me miserum...

  1. I know, maybe you can write about ethics in Latin. That way your professor will be unable to tell whether it's about social or professional ethics and give you an automatic "A."
