As far as the online class goes as advice for future students I would just say stay on top of the due dates. The amount of work is not overwhelming and Angie is more than helpful in making sure her students know what to do. Every Sunday when the To Do list is posted I would recommend writing all of the dates for the upcoming week in a planner or with a calendar.
Other than that, don't be afraid to email Angie and stay on top of the group work. Sometimes it's easy to let the group work go a little longer without working on it and that causes problems. Online classes can be a little imposing sometimes but the once a week meetings and the To Do lists really help.

Ethics
It seems like ethics would be something that would be easy to abide by. Apparently though it is much more difficult than that because when researching the Challenger explosion, people at NASA knew that there were problems and decided to put people's lives at stake. Again, I would assume that ethical decisions involving the lives of people would be among the easiest to follow. That assumption, however, has been disproved many times.
I was also surprised that the reports mentioned so little about the people in the disaster. In the world of major tragedy (especially those that could have been avoided) I guess it is much easier to avoid the whole idea that people were involved, at least by those who could have stopped the loss of life.

Paper vs. Web Writing
In the past I would have said writing in the paper holds more credence than writing on the Web. Now though, I feel that they are both important. I look to the Web for news and help with all sorts of problems. I will say that for long amounts of reading, writing on paper is definitely easier to read.
When transferring writing on paper to writing on the web you need to make sure you copy it exactly and provide correct documentation of the author and such. If it is your writing, I suppose it really is most important that you just copy everything correctly. If you mess something up and then post it on the web, you'll have to deal with the consequences.
