Description

This module explores moral cognition within the domain of social cognition research. It takes a problem-based learning approach (PBLA); each week students will work on a different moral question in small groups, and present it in the lecture. The question will focus on the week鈥檚 relevant topic, and require the students to design an experiment to test an idea, or an intervention that applies the relevant research to a moral problem. This PBLA will reinforce key concepts and ideas, allowing the students to not only acquire knowledge about social cognition research on the topic, but apply their knowledge in various domains.
