Ethics Game Reflection and Integrated Assignment Plan

Part I: Ethics Game

 The Ethics Game Reflection and the Integrated Assignment Plan. The Ethics Game gives you the opportunity to consider many ethical issues that you are a) likely to face when applying for a sales position and b) likely to encounter in a typical sales position. The game is in two parts, I and II, and consists of ten situations where you are asked what you would do. The Ethics Game is available in the "This Course" menu at the top of the screen under "Quizzes". For each part, you are allowed to take as much time as you need or save the test and resume later, and you may take the quiz as many times as you like. At the end of each quiz, you can save and submit your answers, and then click “Okay” on the bottom right corner to see how you scored and see the correct answers. In the game, you will score points for the ethical value of the decisions you make, but your score on the mini-case questions is for your personal interest only, and is NOT included in your grade for the Ethics Game Reflection assignment. The graded portion of your first assignment is based on your reflection of the game regardless of your score. A.
