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.

The course is completed via a multiple-choice test in presence. Three dates per semester are offered for the final test.

The course is supervised by the Academy for Responsible Research, Teaching, and Innovation (ARRTI) and offered in cooperation with the House of Competence (HoC)
