Inlärningsmål
The course will give the students a general knowledge about both ethical problems in research and different views on what constitutes ethics and science respectively. The course also aims at improving the student’s capacity to reflect on his or her own preconceptions and values in regard to research ethical problems and the student’s ability to mobilise a sense of responsibility when faced with research ethical problems. After completing the course, the student is expected to be able to:
• Identify and characterize research ethical problems and solutions
• Identify interests and concerns relevant to involved parties
• Apply those skills to their own research
• Write a report on a research ethical dilemma
