Pre\/Views: Building a Culture of Ethical, Interdisciplinary, and Extra-Curricular Writing at OSU<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

By Vicki Tolar Burton, WIC Director<\/em><\/p>\n

Faculty colleagues, I\u2019d like to crowd-source an idea, and you folks are my crowd. I\u2019m working on a project on Ethics and Writing Across the Curriculum for a collection edited by two leading scholars in the area of ethics and writing.\u00a0 I would like to interpret ethics broadly and represent ethical writing and teaching in many disciplines in the article. I know, for example, that the WIC course in Animal Science at OSU is focused on ethics in the field; and I know that in the Physics WIC course students consider the ethics of scientific research. How does the topic of ethics pertain to your WIC course or another course in the major? How does it appear in your syllabus? How do students learn that their words carry ethical responsibility? What does that responsibility look like in your field? Are there hard and fast rules for right and wrong in oral and written communication, or are ethical decisions contextual? What unethical uses of writing might you caution students about?\u00a0Read more<\/a><\/p>\n
