My favorite course thus far has been Ethics, Technology, and Development. Although it was an elective for the CALS requirements outside of my major requirements, it provided a refreshing intellectual pivot and a unique perspective on global progress. The course relied heavily on group communication, which fostered an open, exploratory environment where we could challenge one another's viewpoints. This experience highlighted the importance of ethical frameworks in development, which is a lesson that is increasingly relevant as I look toward a career in medicine, where technology and ethics constantly intersect.
