Very comprehensive course. Some of the real-life situation quizzes I am not so sure that I agree with 100%, but the course was well-researched and explored ethics from a professional standpoint and also human standpoint, also included avoiding (ethically) falling into fiduciary role.

The course covered lots of different aspects of the Ethical dilemmas in business. Not sure I agreed with justifying employees taking unlimited PTO to work a second job. Employees should not expect others to flex their schedules to meet a full time employees "second job"

Very good overview of ethics and how it applies to business. The instructor is very knowledgeable about the materials. She provides many examples and doesn't just read what is on the slides.

The information was clear. There was little time to review all the info on each slide - especially when moving into later segments. There could be less time spent on earlier parts.
