ethical frameworks
Basic concept overview
Stakeholders and responsibility

Case-based judgment

Things to watch for
Treating ethical frameworks as a list of terms
Connect each term to the course question, evidence, and an example.
Ignoring the audience or context in stakeholders and responsibility
State who is affected, what decision is being made, and what constraints matter.
Leaving case-based judgment until the end
Use staged practice and revision so the final work reflects feedback and course goals.
