Course: Audio Recording and Podcasting

Code of Ethics

As a podcaster you have some basic rights and responsibilities.  We will spend some time discussing journalism and ethics.

After our class forum discussions you will generate (produce) a Podcater's Code of Ethics document.

Here is what you will need to consider before creating your document:

  - Responsibility to truth and accuracy
  - Separating Fact from Opinion
  - Balancing Points of View
  - Citing Sources and Giving Credit
  - Plagiarism
  - Sensitivity
  - Responsibility to self, class, and school community

You will need to participate in each of the below activities to receive credit.  You will be graded according to this standard:

  - 100 means you responded thoughtfully to the prompt and answered all the parts.
  - 80 means you responded thoughtfully, but missed some parts.
  - 70 means some of your responses lacked thoughtfulness and/or you missed parts
  - 50 means that you responded poorly on all parts
  - 0 means you never participated

Required Forums!

Please be sure you participate in each forum below. The quality of your response will be evaluated as stated above.
