This paper is fully online and does not have lectures or tutorials. It is designed to be completed in as little as four weeks but most students will probably spread their work over the full six weeks. Content is provided through playlists of videos. Five of these playlists have quizzes associated with them and the others are attached to exercises in which you practice the skills the paper is designed to teach. Each exercise is based on one reading, which is available in the paper's reading list. All the quizzes open on 11 November. The first three close on 24 November and the remaining two close on 1 December. The first exercise opens on 11 November and closes on 24 November. All students do this exercise. You then choose one of two pathways: one on research ethics or one on professional ethics. Each pathway is made up to of two exercises and a short assignment. The readings for the exercises provide you with two perspectives on an issue and the assignment asks you to solve a problem given what you have learned in the readings.You are able to leave an exercise and come back to it but you must resume where you left off. It won't work if you go back to the beginning. Moderated discussion forums will be available for students who would like to talk to each other about topics. You will have access to these on completion of the relevant exercise or pathway. All students do a final exercise and then there is a reflective assignment in which you choose one or two things that you have found particularly interesting or valuable and explain how they apply in a work environment you can relate to. At all times students have access to individual support from the lecturer should they need it.

Students must be able to access YouTube at all times. If you are planning to return to China before the end of the paper, please be aware that there is no access to YouTube and the use of VPNs is illegal.
