ARs ReflecTIonis is an online modular self-study course. Its aim is to enable students to reflect critically on ethical challenges of their disciplines and their later professional work. The course allows for combining general components on ethics and normative argumentation with components on concrete questions about responsible decision-making, tailor-made for specific areas of study at the KIT. Each component consists of avideo micro-lecture, whichcan be viewed on ILIAS, and further material for self-study. Optionally, Q&A sessions and workshops are offered to give students the opportunity to ask questions individually and discuss the topics directly and more in-depth with teachers.

The course is completed via a multiple-choice test in presence. Three dates per semester are offered for the final test.

The course is offered—and continually developed further—by the Academy for Responsible Research, Teaching, and Innovation (ARRTI) in cooperation with the

House of Competence (HoC).

No maximum number of participants. Registration possible at any time.
