Teaching Ethics to Bioscience Students
Tuesday 16th December 2008
University of Cambridge: Vivien Stewart Room, Murray Edwards College (formerly New Hall).
This event provided a further opportunity for colleagues to get together and discuss how best to prepare students to deal with the ethical issues associated with advances in the biosciences and other ethical dilemmas. The programme for the day focused partly on assessment and was aimed at teachers with some experience of the teaching of ethics, although, all individuals with an interest in the event were welcome to attend. As usual the format of the event included a mix of activities, presentations and opportunities for discussion.
