Passed EC Ethics

[Kiwi Lover]

I took EC Ethics yesterday and came out with a "B". I had already taken DANTES Ethics, so that gave me a good foundation to start with for this exam. (However, I wouldn't necessarily say it would be a requirement to take that test first in order to do well on this one.)

I totally concur with everyone who has posted here about taking practice exams that are offered by Excelsior for $60 - they were TOTALLY worth it (you get 2 exams). I personally felt that the practice exams were even tougher than the REAL exam, but they prepared me VERY well for the real thing. To me, one of the most helpful aspects of the practice exams was the amount of information they gave you on WHY an answer was correct and not correct. I learned a great deal from taking these mock exams and then reviewing them again and again.

My exam had a LOT of questions to do with the following:

• utilitarianism
  
• naturalism (natural law)
  
• social contract
  
• Kant (know a lot about Kantiasm)
  
• relativism
  
• existentialism
  
• nihilism
  
• specieism
  
• metaethics
  
• autonomy
  
• beneficence
  
• anthropocentric
  
• ethical egotist
  
• ecofeminism
  

All in all, not a bad exam and IMHO much more "doable" than an upper level exam like DANTES Money & Banking.
