Document Summary

Today, we are going to have a short lecture on ethics. This material will be included in the exam we will do our clicker questions after that and then review all our material for exams. So certainly you would want to take the quantitative methods course next semester. It is a linked course, so it will help you link the idea of how to get from the questions to the answers. Even if you don"t want to be the person out there analyzing surveys or collecting data, all of the jobs out there are using this material. So even if you aren"t doing the work, you will always have to have an understanding of the background of this information. So today, the last element we are going to look at is the research and ethics process. This is important for reasons of reliability and for the treatment of subject and research.
