    Professor was acting unethically.

    He claimed there would be no judgement, and then didn’t follow through on that condition.

    He also instructed the student to lie in the future.

    Where is my A+?

    Probably what businesses really want is unethical people who are competent at lying about it, and the professor was giving anon practical career advice if not actually ethical advice.

    Nah, he wants to see if anon can be shamed about his lack of ethics.

    If he is shameless, CEO behavior.

    If he is ashamed, McDonald’s behavior.

    If you lie about it, then just par for the course and you can be a broker anywhere. Gotta feed out the line to find the narcissistic socios and not the stealthy ones.

    I accidentally ended up at a religious university for medical school and you better believe I’ve gotten in numerous fights with the law and ethics professor (who, to be fair, is actually a MD/JD) regarding the prescribed conservative religious approach to the ethics discussions. I absolutely did not change his mind, but I did get a bunch of my classmates to start asking questions by putting myself out there and challenging the professor on their BS.

    Edit: I should clarify that these fights were on mic in the recorded lectures, so there’s a hard record of my arguing with him.

      Oh, yeah, we’ve all been there.

      Also, religion and medicine don’t seem like things that should mix. They are bringing preconceived notions to the table that are not supposed by logic, that seems dangerous in the medical setting

        I’m guessing the most important lesson in such a school is to not get upset when morons start praising God almighty after you saved their loved one in a day long operation or something.

          You know, I’d be fine with it if it was God who got the credit as long as he also got the blame, but when I do something good and they start thanking God up and down, while when I make a decision they don’t like they start fuming that I am the arbiter of this darkness…

    Anon had a massive dunk on his professor lined up.

    “You said there would be no judgement and said that people should lie rather than put an accurate score on an ethics survey. Wouldn’t that make your score lower than 36 then?”

      The professor probably would have responded that his response was another part of the lesson: don’t trust those above you in a business setting.
