At St. Catherine University, Prof. Susan Hawthorne assigns civic engagement projects in her introductory ethics course, Phil 2200. Using Anthony Weston’s texbook, “A 21st Century Ethical Toolbox,” supplemented by additional primary source materials, the course emphasizes practice and process in ethics, as well as ethical theory. This course has a “writing intensive” designation as well. So, to avoid overwhelming students, the civic engagement assignment in this course—the $20 challenge—is brief and implented in teams.
