This manual is for PSY FPX 5110 Assessment 3, start to submission. Ethical Dilemma in the Workplace Setting asks you to analyze an ethical dilemma in a professional setting, such as a professor asked to teach outside her expertise: describe the case and the ethical concerns, compare deontology and utilitarianism with examples, and apply an ethical decision-making model, such as the Forester-Miller and Davis model, to reach a decision. The grade turns on working the dilemma through a model. Describing theories scores lower than applying them step by step to the case. Below is the method our tutors use, a structure that maps to the criteria, and an annotated sample excerpt. Prefer to hand it off? A premium original sample for this exact assessment comes back in 24 to 48 hours, revised free until it meets the guide. Capella's catalog lists the course as PSY-FPX5110, and some courserooms print PSY5110; both point to this same Assessment 3. In current courserooms this assessment typically appears as "Ethical Dilemma in the Workplace Setting".
One honesty note before the manual: Capella revises courses and scoring guides over time, so always write to the exact scoring guide attached to your assessment in the courseroom. The course identity above is verified on capella.edu; the method and structure below are our tutors' approach to it, not Capella's official rubric text.
How PSY FPX 5110 Assessment 3 is scored
FlexPath does not use letter grades. Each criterion in the scoring guide lands on one of four levels, and the level descriptions are the real writing brief:
| Level | What it means on a ethical dilemma analysis |
|---|---|
| Distinguished | The ethical dilemma analysis is specific to the organization or case, applies course concepts accurately with credible sources, and ends in justified conclusions or recommendations. |
| Proficient | The ethical dilemma analysis is accurate, but the application or recommendations are general. |
| Basic | The ethical dilemma analysis describes concepts with little application. |
| Non-performance | A required part of the ethical dilemma analysis is missing. |
Use the case your courseroom provides and cite the APA Ethics Code.

Annotated sample excerpt
An original model excerpt from our team, written to show the register that reaches the top of the guide. Learn the moves, then write your own version.
Following the Forester-Miller and Davis model, the first step is to identify the problem: the professor is being asked to teach a course outside her area of competence, which the APA Ethics Code addresses under boundaries of competence.1 Generating options, she could decline, accept and prepare intensively with a mentor, or propose a colleague; evaluating them, accepting without preparation risks harm to students, while accepting with a documented preparation plan meets both her duty and the department's need.2 Testing the choice for fairness and publicity, she would be comfortable defending it to students and colleagues, so she accepts with the preparation plan.3
