Name (clearly written) ______________________________
Dear student,
I really want to get to know you, partly because it helps me do a better job teaching, but also just to know you. You are free not to answer any particular question, but please answer if you feel comfortable doing so. You may indicate that any particular answer is JBYM (just between you and me). Please turn this back in the next class period.
Jeffrey Wattles
What do you already know (or believe) about ethics and what would you like to learn? We’ll break this up into two parts. Just answer briefly.
1. What do you already know about ethics?
2. What would you like to learn about ethics this semester?
3. Think of a person you know whom you regard highly for his or her goodness, character, moral and ethical excellence, or however you might put it in your own words. What are the qualities you appreciate in this person?
4. What is it like when you are living at your best?
5. What other courses are you taking this semester?
6. How many hours are you working this semester? What kind of job? Any other particular time pressures this semester?
7. What background do you have in philosophy or religion?
