The course packet was straightforward and easy to follow. The material was informative and succinct, and the examples offered were relevant. In certain cases, long lists of information were presented (such as the list of items constituting disreputable conduct), that could have been presented in a more visually appealing manner.

The ethics course that was very helpful for professionals to refresh their memory and learn about new rules about Ethics. The course covers a wide range of topics, including professional responsibility, and conflict of interest. It also provides participants with the opportunity to review different cases of ethical dilemmas.
