Reflections on Teaching Three Versions of a Planning Ethics Course

Abstract

Planning ethics courses are of relatively recent vintage and not often taught. They may, however, become more common as a result of vigorous scholarly attention being given to planning ethics and the prominence ethics and values were given in the 1989 revision of the PAB accreditation curriculum guidelines. This article discusses, assesses, and draws lessons from three versions of a planning ethics class taught intermittently over the past twelve years by the author.
