The simulations presented in the beginning pertinent background information and then subsequent screens presented at least three decision choices. Based on the selection, a new screen presented the client's response. The process ended when the students reached the end of a decision pathway. The simulation also took into account that many counseling situations do not have right or correct answers, and may be ambiguous. The realistic choices offered, were meant to encourage students to engage in critical thinking. Moreover, situations were also designed so that more than one ethical code would apply to each situation. But when students chose a decision pathway, the responses were true to life. After making the decision, the students had to confront with the typical consequences of their decisions. Ethical decisions required that students determined the relevant sections of the various ethical codes and prioritize the standards.
Debriefing consisted in small groups' activities that reviewed individual decision-making processes and compared the advantages, disadvantages and consequences of their choices. The instructor also facilitated the exchange by pointing out the ways in which counseling's ethical standards can be interpreted and compared. The instructor provided feedback on the logical course of decision-making.
The evaluation stage consisted of a formative assessment of the simulation's strengths and weaknesses. An expert in computer-based training program design, a subject matter expert and 10 students participated. The evaluation consisted of both the participants' reaction to the program and one-to-one interviews. The results of the evaluation pointed out that the simulation made a good use of critical thinking skills and the notepad proved to be an effective tool for reflection. The classical screen design was also appreciated. Some of the concerns were that some students may need additional instructions to use the program accurately.

Ethics and Risks Exercise 1 How would you measure the unethical behavior in an organization? "In its simplest terms, measuring performance means assessing business results to determine how effective a company's strategies and operations are and make changes to address shortfalls and other problems."
