A graduate teaching assistant (GTA) has repeatedly cancelled the undergraduate experimental psychology lab section she is teaching and was late grading students' final papers. The professor responsible for the class was aware the GTA was having trouble keeping up with her graduate coursework and, as a result, had taken on some of the GTA's responsibilities during the semester. The professor is required to give an end-of-semester GTA evaluation. A poor evaluation can contribute to the GTA losing her assistantship. Discuss the relevant moral theories guiding how the perspectives and interests of different stakeholders should be considered as the professor decides what to include on the evaluation form.

• What happened in the case?
• What is your personal reaction to the case study and how does that influence your ability to identify the ethical issues at hand?
• What are the specific ethical issues at hand?
• In the case example, what did the psychology professional do to resolve the issue, if anything? Was their reaction based on personal opinions or grounded in the APA Ethics Code?
• Do you agree with the psychology professional's response? Why or why not?
• Establish two alternative ways that the situation could be resolved: one informal resolution and one formal resolution.
