This paper explores specifically the ethical issues that arise in communicating in a variety of contexts and channels. It gives students the necessary foundation in communication ethics to prepare them to be responsible communicators in the workplace, and negotiate the ethical tensions and dilemmas of human communication.

The paper guides students through the complexity of ethical issues in communication contexts through lectures, readings, discussions, case studies, exercises, and personal engagement with communicating ethically.

This paper has a two-hour lecture hour session and a one-hour tutorial session each week. The lecture sessions will be a mix of content delivery and interactive class discussions while the tutorials will focus on activities, exercises, and review of content. As the paper is offered in a FLEXI format, each lecture session and tutorial session will be face-to-face in a lecture room on campus as well as via Zoom simultaneously. Most (but not necessarily all) parts of the lecture sessions will be recorded. However, tutorials, which will be based on student activities, exercises, interactions, etc., will not be recorded.

Students are expected to attend both lectures and tutorials and participate actively to make the most out of the paper.
