Guidelines For Using Case Scenarios To Teach Computer Ethics Raquel Benbunan-Fich Department ofln)~rmation Systems Stern SchoolofBusiness,NYU raquel@stern.nyu.edu here is some controversy about how computer ethics and ethics in general should be taught. The two most idely used approaches are lecturing about ethical concepts and situations, and getting the students involved in the discussion and solution of ethical dilemmas. These two approaches can complement each other very well. The oneway presentation of ethical concepts can lay the theoretical foundations and the discussion of cases can motivate the students to practice ethical analyses.

Some of the cases are focused on ethical dilemmas faced by computer professionals. Ethical dilemmas faced by computer professionals are especially relevant for students majoring in computer science or related disciplines. A very good example of a case scenario in this area is "Case 7: Software Risks" in Anderson et al., 1993. The text of the case was slightly modified to introduce new issues
