General Requirements 

You are to review five (5) Case Studies.  For each case study, you are to answer the questions following the description of the study.  When answering questions about ethical considerations, you should specify which guidelines (either from class notes or the text) apply to your argument.  In addition to answering the questions, you will explain, for each study, how the procedures could be changed to meet the guidelines of ethical research.  Remember, the changed procedures should still allow the researchers answer their research questions.

 

Guidelines

Submit your responses in an appropriate type-written format (i.e., double-spaced and stapled).  You should be as specific as possible with your response without giving irrelevant information.

 

Task Requirements

For each case study, you should:

            1) Answer the questions at the end of the description.

            2) Define the ethical guideline involved with each response.

            3) Suggest how the procedures might be changed to meet guidelines.
