Reports from the field: In a small team meeting in advance of the last class, each student tells the story of an ethical challenge he/she faced in the workplace. Teams pick one story for oral presentation in class, with a random selection of teams presenting.

Final paper due, 7-10 pages: Revisit your two-page introductory essay, and explore how your statement now looks, refracted through the materials we covered during H2 and the story that you presented to your team before the last class.
