PHIL 197 — Ethics Bowl
This course is designed for the student to participate in our Ethics Bowl team, Team Grossmont. Students will develop speech and research skills by selecting areas of emphasis based upon the case studies issued by the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics. Students will conduct significant research on the cases, the nature of which will be highly interdisciplinary. Students will also write position papers applying creative and critical thinking skills and theoretical ethical concepts and frameworks to the cases. They will present and defend positions on the cases in the form of a team debate with the expectation that students will participate in the Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl California Regional Competition which is held in early December annually.
