The course had great information and activities overall, but there was no interaction whatsoever from the instructors other than video lectures. It was pretty much left to the students of the course to support one another, and since students begin and finish course and all different times I found it difficult at times to get any responses in the discussion boards. Tip: Finish the final assignment several days early to give plenty of time for peer review. Mine was submitted about 9 days early with no peer review until about a day before the due date. Some on the discussion boards had no peer reviews even after the due dates. Again, the information and videos were great, but I would have liked to have at least a little interaction from instructors (or at least assistants) in the discussion boards.

This course is well worthwhile. Its main objective is make you think about ethical issues, as opposed to making decisions in a rote manner. Their argument about ethical blindness is persuasive and it helps you to understand corporate behaviors that appear to be inconceivable (Enron, Ford Pinto, etc).

My hope was to learn more about guidelines for making corporate decisions that have internal economic costs or benefits, with associated external social benefits or costs. However, I was assured that this would not be possible in the confines of this course. But this course does make you hungry for more. Hopefully, this faculty will be able to offer a follow-up course in the near future.

Very well structured and presented course with a good mix of theory and practical guidance. It is delivered in a digestible format with engaging speakers and good examples. I particularly liken the questions embedded within certain videos to keep viewers attention (though the questions don't seem to work on mobile platforms). My only complaint is that the last section on how to guard against ethical blindness was squeezed into the last week and felt a bit rushed and generic. It did not seem to have received the same amount of attention as the rest of the course.

This was a good course that incorporated not only philosophical background, but actual case studies to demonstrate how actual ethical breaches in business today. It describes how ethical blindness may have arisen and allowed such circumstances to proceed within an organization. It outlines potential frameworks to assist in preventing ethical blindness and potential results. Tests and assignment allow good consolidation of course information. Well-laid out and easy to work through.

This course was well worth my time and effort. It was clear concise. It has made me more aware of the pitfalls that I may inadvertently set up for others and has made me more aware of ones that surround me in my work environment and ways to identify and to alleviate ethical blindness.

Ethics is a subject which is thought of as marginal and not the core of your personality. Most people feel overconfident about self understanding of this subject. I have always believed that this subject must be taught in the beginning and not the end.

Very interesting course, as a lawyer I got another perspective on non-compliance. Appreciate the possibility to learn new things in an approachable and well structured manner.

Course was rather long and laboured, could be shortened to achieve greater engagement
