The teaching of the ethical implications of scientific advances in science courses for undergraduates has significant advantages for both science and non-science majors. The article describes three courses taught by the author as examples of the concept, and examines the disadvantages as well as the advantages. A significant advantage of this approach is that many students take the courses primarily because of the ethical component who would not otherwise take science. A disadvantage is less time in the course for the science; arguably, this is outweighed by the greater retention of the science when it is put into context.
在本科科学课程中教授科学进步的伦理含义对理科生和非理科生都有重要的优势。本文以作者教授的三门课程为例，介绍了这一理念，并探讨了其优缺点。这种方法的一个显著优势是，许多学生主要是因为伦理部分而选修这些课程，否则他们不会选择科学课程。缺点是课程中用于科学的时间较少；可以说，当科学置于上下文中时，学生对科学的理解和保留程度会更高，这在一定程度上弥补了这一不足。
