The module is very structured and contains relevant and important information about ethics. It has given me opportunities to reflect on my own responsibility and expectations as a researcher.
Learner feedback
It gave me a lot to think about. I like to think that I know about ethics, have a strong moral compass and my life values are good and translate into what I do. But there were definitely issues I hadn’t considered.
Learner feedback
Well-structured, well-designed course. Very useful, insightful and well-arranged information which helped to spark my interest. Excellent resources and the "Learn more" sections were a bonus treat!
