Students need instruction in ethics. With adherence to the TriCouncil’s ethics policy now mandatory for university research with human participants, understanding of ethics is a necessity. We need students to be empowered to understand and appreciate ethics. This article explains an interactive discussion model, based on teaching experience. Students are assigned readings, with guiding questions, and come to class for a discussion of ethical issues and principles. Details and examples of discussions are given. More must be done to help students develop true understanding of ethics and their application, and engagement in discussion is a crucial tool to achieve this end.  \n“Virtue being of two kinds, intellectual and moral, intellectual virtue derives both its origin and its growth mainly from teaching (wherefore it requires experience and time), while moral virtue is the fruit of habit”(Aristotle, 350 BC/1963, p. 28) .  \nEthilifec;alfrporimncdipayl-so-ardeayimportantinteractioninsawllithaspotehctsers of  \nto  \ndiscipline-specific ethics codes. In research, the government of Canada now requires all institutions with government funding, such as universities, to have a formal Research Ethics Board (REB), which evaluates proposed research. It is thus necessary toadhere to ethical standards even if only from the purely practical perspective of having research approved and funded. The Canadian government’s main grant funding bodies, the former Medical Research Council (MRC), now the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) came together as the“Tri-council” to produce an over-arching policy statement on research ethics, the policy on Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (CIHR, NSERC & SSHRC, 2014) . This policy must be followed for any research funded by grants from any of the three agencies. Not only faculty members and  \nresearch scientists, but also students need to follow these guidelines and standards. Currently in Canada student research projects must also be evaluated, either by the full REB itself or by a Student Research Ethics Review Panel (SRERP) .  \nWith so much attention now being given to ethical principles in research and in professional practice we need to understand how such ethical principles are acquired. We often assume that students will simply come to understand specific requirements as they progress through university, but in reality such “learning by ‘osmosis’” (Bicknell, 1985, p. 25) just does not happen. Students need instruction in ethics, particularly as it relates to codes and requirements. With adherence to the TriCouncil code of ethics now mandatory for any university research with human participants, understanding of ethical principles is no longer something that would be good to have but is now a necessity (The Expert Panel on Research Integrity, 2010). Interestingly, as Woody (2008) has noted, our ethics codes have no direct requirements for teaching  \nof ethics. Even in many universities there is a lack of instruction in ethics. Whilst some instruction regarding ethics occurs, there are few courses in ethics per se, and still fewer specifically dealing with research ethics. It seems that ethics are given a cursory treatment in a lecture or two near the beginning of some courses, but little more. Students then are left with little understanding of real ethical principles and the need for ethical regulations, and often question the relevance of the REB or SRERP.
