Completing Module 2

Completing Module 2

This week we continue to work through Module 2 Principles of Sustainability. 

We want to clarify a common misconception about our frequent use of case study assignments in our course. Case studies are a type of assignment that engages us with real-world examples to think critically about a new concept. Ethical Reasoning Case Studies are a Semester-Long Project where you will complete 5 of 10 scenarios by the semester’s end. You will complete 1 Ethical Reasoning Case Study response in Modules 2-6 (five total). In contrast, the Electronic Graveyard case study is included in our Instructional Materials in Modules 1-3. Both are case studies, but the Electronic Graveyard assignment was not an Ethical Reasoning Case Study. We hope this helps define the different types of case studies in our course as well as their purpose!
