Assignment: Ethical Dilemma Memo
Instructions
Prepare a memo for distribution to first-year students in which you introduce the ethical dilemmas they will face in college. For instance:
• If you received a final grade of A by mistake, would you inform your professor?
• If the library lost the record of books you've signed out, would you return them anyway?
• Would you plagiarize and would that change in your professional life?
• Do you support lowering standards for student athletes if the team's success was important for the school's funding and status?
• Would you allow a friend to submit a paper you've written for some other course?
• What other ethical dilemmas can you envision? Tell your audience what to expect,and give them some realistic advice for coping.
