Abstract:

EAC (ethics across the curriculum) requires as its foundation a solid program of assessment. This module includes several assessment forms from which browsers can choose. The range responds to a wide variety of assessment situations. From one end, a Muddy Point exercise asks students to identify the strongest and weakest points of a module. At the other end, a rubric based on scoring criteria used in the Ethics Bowl competition held at UPRM (based on the national competition held annually at the conferences of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics) provides a fairly fine grained assessment of a capstone ethics integration exercise. This document makes use of an Instructor Module template designed to help structure the authoring and sharing of Ethics Across the Curriculum Integration modules that are being developed through the NSF funded EAC Toolkit Project (SES-0551779). It solicits pedagogical information for instructors regarding the assessment of student modules based on the experiences and expertise of the authors, co-authors and EAC community members. The goal is to promote sharing of best practices in ethics education and to encourage other educators to engage in EAC.
