Today's Moral Issues
PowerPoint Slides
Sample Syllabi
The book moves from theoretical approaches to contemporary moral problems that illustrate them and then back again. I have found that works best in designing a syllabus, too. Keep the theory and practice in close proximity.
Here are some actual syllabi used in ethics courses with Today's Moral Issues as the required text.
