    He is precise with the subject. A good example of being good ethical by his presentation. Easy to follow him. Also he is a cool guy.

    Great presenter! Interesting approach of tying in Sociology, Psychology, and Interpreting ethics and comparing their likenesses (public good, do no harm, do an "ethics-check" for competence and responsibility). Much can be taken from this and applied in our everyday work. Raise the standards. Thank you!

    This was a great presentation! I have a master's degree in Sociology and I love how you showed the relationship between the three disciplines.
