Medical Ethics

Briefing

This course was given during the fifth-year winter semester. It included some lectures that were held independently of the five-day seminar schedule. Upon request, we were able to double up on seminars and finish two days earlier.

Seminars were lengthy and conducted in a monologue format (unfortunately, as this course could have benefited greatly from group discussions). The occasional "interactive" questions that were asked required only brief responses.

All absences required a valid excuse. We were informed that one excused absence was permissible, but two or more absences would need to be made up, such as by giving a presentation.

The instructor stated that the course may conclude with a written assessment if the "participation willingness of students is low" during seminars.
