I struggle with these simulated situations instructors try to introduce into the classroom because I don't believe it always, or even usually, represents the real-world workplace or allows for students to truly hear/see/think about how the situation would or did play out. Introducing case studies or readings is certainly <em>a</em> way to get professional communication students thinking about how they would respond in an ethical or conflict situation. But what more can we do? How do we get students <em>into</em> the workplace more so they can truly hear and see organic conflict in the workplace, situations they will encounter as professionals and will need to know how to respond to...ethically?
