“ this will provide a very helpful background resource - introducing key concepts and ideas so that the class time can be focused on development and looking at specific case studies - which in general is how I think ethics teaching is best done, so facilitating an inquiry based class room is great. I also like that it is relatively bare bones - it provides a useful frame rather than being entirely prescriptive which makes it adaptable to a wide array of teaching situations”
