Content

AR's ReflecTIonis is a modular online course for self-study. The aim is to enable students to critically reflect on the ethical challenges of their own subject and their own future professional activities. In doing so, course-specific components on concrete questions of assuming responsibility can be combined with general components on the basics of ethics and normative argumentation. The individual components each contain a video-recorded micro-lecture, which can be viewed via ILIAS, as well as additional course material for self-study. Optional Q&A sessions and workshops are offered to clarify questions and deepen discussions in exchange with the lecturers.
