So, I'm taking the online ethics course. I focused my mind on how fun it would be and all that jazz. And ofcourse, I found out that it wasn't as bad as I feared. My positive thinking worked- somewhat. It turns out that instead of having 15 modules and 15 quizes, there's only about 7 quizes. YES!
But then I failed the first quiz. WHOA! 3 out of 5! What! I know what you're thinking- my occupation is listed as smarty pants, for God's sake! I'm suppose to be atleast as smart as I am sassy or I would be forced to change my occupation back to sassy pants. That shouldn't be so.
I was about to be stressed when I realized that they tell you what you got right and wrong and . . . they give you all the answers. SWEET! You also can re-enter the module, scroll through all of the reading and . . . retake the quiz!!!!! Excellent!
Now this may sound like cheating- which, my friends, would be unethical. However, cheating would be if I decide not to read any of the information and just enter the quiz page, try my luck, then redo it after I'm given the answers. That would be unethical. Retaking the quiz with the answers in hand is simply a way to assure that I have learned the material after being reminded of the correct answers. I still do the work and try to pass. Unfortunately, I don't retain everything, okay! At least I try.
Besides, I already KNOW what is ethical and what's not. The quiz is so much about definitions of stuff. Why should I know the definitional difference between fabrication and falsification, when I KNOW that you shouldn't do either!
That's what really matters, people.
Don't judge me. ;)
