IND 501. Ethics and Professional Integrity

Staff

Non-credit course

This course covers a broad range of topics and addresses issues related to ethical scientific conduct and professional skills that researchers are likely to face in their careers. In the ethics portion of the course, case studies are discussed in small group format. A very practical approach is adopted in order to avoid deep philosophical debates that, although of great interest, are unlikely to be helpful. Built into the course are descriptions of the University's policies such as those dealing with misconduct in research as well as experimentation involving animal and human subjects. This one credit hour course is required of all entering graduate students as well as all postdoctoral fellows and persons appointed as instructors and fellows. (Fall)
