I prefer hard copy material. Very thorough. Even after taking ethics 10 times, I learned a lot!

Umm...most ethic classes have many similarities to them that the need to read the course material in its entirety isn't always necessary. Not sure there's much that could be done for that, but this pertains to those who are require to take ethics to renew their licenses. Those who don't require this and are interested may need to actually read the material to answer the questions.

Because professional massage therapists must take Ethics courses each licensing period (year 31 for me), we have all studied what it means to be ethical, and to operate a professional, clean, confidential, and effective practice. This coursework seemed muddy, and many of the questions seemed a bit convoluted as compared with the course work. For the content, I did not enjoy this course or find the questions to be clear and relatable.
