Answer to Question 1

D
The first step in ethical decision making is to determine what actions are justifiable in the situation. Deciding what predominant values are operating in the situation is an important step in ethical decision making, but identification of justifiable actions is the first step.
Determining who is involved and uncovering their individual goals is an important step in ethical decision making, but identification of justifiable actions is the first step.
Identifying courses of action and possible consequences of actions is an important step in ethical decision making, but identification of justifiable actions is the first step.

Answer to Question 2

B
Performing a summative evaluation at the end of the semester would allow the faculty member to determine which instructional method might be best. Comparing final examination results would provide this information, although the instructor needs to consider other influencing factors as well.
If the faculty member were assessing student satisfaction, this would be a valid answer; however, the faculty member wants to assess learning effectiveness.
Pop quizzes would be a type of formative evaluation, allowing for shifts in teaching style so that students could better meet objectives.
A peer evaluation can provide important feedback, but this will not provide definitive information on which teaching method worked best.
