Assigned readings:
Cline (2018). "3 Types of Ethical Systems." learnreligions.com Links to an external site.
Moor (1999). "Just consequentialism and computing." Ethics and Information Technology. Links to an external site. (note: consequentialist and teleological ethics are essentially the same thing, and both overlap considerably with utilitarianism)
- Please include your name and eid in the response, which should be double-spaced and must be uploaded as a PDF to this assignment. Credit will be based on evidence that you have done the readings carefully and given them critical thought; it is not enough to provide a summary of the points made. Acceptable responses include (but are not limited to):
- Insightful questions;
- Clarification questions about ambiguities;
- Comments about the relation of the reading to previous readings;
- Solutions to problems or exercises posed in the readings;
- Critiques;
- Thoughts on what you would like to learn about in more detail;
- Possible extensions or related studies;
- Thoughts on the paper's importance or contribution relative to other work on the subject (that we discussed previously or that you read on your own)
These responses will be graded on a 10-point scale with a grade of 10 being a typical full-credit grade for a reasonable response. Responses will be due by 5pm the day before the reading is listed. No late responses will be accepted.
This deadline is designed both to encourage you to do the readings before class and also to allow us to incorporate some of your responses into the class discussions.
Students are expected to be present in class having completed the readings and participate actively in the discussions and activities.
