Debriefing on Exam

1. Debriefing on Exam William J. Frey

2. Final exam • May 7: last class • Assessment of Frey and course modules • May 11: 9:45 Trouble Shooting meeting • May 17: Turn in Group materials/final exam from 7:30 to 4:30

3. Scale • 200 – 180 • 179 – 160 • 159 – 140 • A-/B+ B+/A-

4. Nota Bene • I am required to keep exams on file for a semester. You can have access to them at any time. • The rubrics are out of order. The rubric listed third is for question two while that listed second is for question three. • Comments were generally reserved for how well you stayed focused on the question.

5. Things you did well • Good answers on second half of question three: good arguments looking at the responsibilities of Saia and LaRue • Good at working around difficulty of understanding “chivo expiatorio” • At least one person in each group answered all of the questions well—this will allow for some more cooperative learning • Almost all tests were focused and did not contain extraneous discussions (Issue of focus or intelligibility) • This was a difficult test. You successfully faced a challenge! • Difficult content and skills • Time constraint (You know that you can make arguments under time limitations) • Interpreting and answering the questions (You went through fact rich cases and structured data)

6. Areas for attention and improvement • Right claim framework: essential, vulnerable, and feasible. (Connect to autonomy) • Reversibility: Project yourself into the shoes of another (=stakeholder) • How does the action look from the receiving end? • Avoid extremes of too much (getting lost) and too little (no sympathy) • Keep working on values/virtues • Each virtue can be specified into mean between extremes of too much and too little • Build virtues into ethics bowl debate. Our solution realizes X values/virtues for Y and Z reasons.

7. What you need to focus on now • In depth case study analysis (Using STA to formulate problems, brainstorming lists, SEM, and Feasibility) • Execute the software development cycle • Respond to the feedback from the ethics bowl (and tell me in your self-evaluations) • Review m13759 (Practical and Professional Ethics Bowl Activity: Follow-Up In-Depth Case Analysis) • Include the charts + verbal explanations • Process is as important as product. (Brainstorming lists, refined lists, explanation of process)

8. What you need to focus on now • Return to Ethics of Team Work Module (m13760) and carry out exercise three (final group self-evaluation) • Review preliminary report • What did you change? • What did you learn? • What were your obstacles and how did you overcome them? • Individual member evaluation forms • Each team member fills one out anonymously • Evaluate yourself and your team members

9. What you need to focus on now • Case Summaries • Look at example I brought into classroom • Concentrate on simple problem statement and solution evaluation matrix. Provide a short justification of your solution.

10. What is important now • Closing out the ethics bowl • Debating and reflecting on the challenges of ethics advocacy • Peer Reviewing and how to instantiate the virtue of reasonableness (active/critical listening) • Building reactions into self-evaluation
