Names will not be used and privacy will be held to the highest standard. I will not let my biases of the outcomes affect the collection of arbitrary data for research use.

A lecturer should always be patient, so students do not worry about making mistakes and trying new language (Barnes & Lock, 2010).
Korean students are not accustomed to participatory learning so lecturers must work hard to establish a participatory environment (Barnes & Lock, 2010).

Our students want to participate and feel important. They have great ideas that need to be expressed. Barriers and walls that do not promote communication must be torn down.

Discussion Post 12 – EM101 Schooling the World provides insight into a perspective of education that is different than what we are used to in Canada. We typically view education as a tool that is used to provide an opportunity for students to improve the economy of their country and to make an impact on a global scale.

Virtue ethics is the ethical belief that ethics are based on who a person is, not on their actions. The idea of virtue ethics dates back to Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) and his work The Nicomachean Ethics (349 BC).
