Lab Assignment 3--Ethics
Points Available: 10
This portion of the assignment
involves evaluating ethical issues in
proposed research projects . During your lab session,
the
professor will assign and distribute one scenario to you. For each numbered
item, please
type DETAILED answers on a
separate sheet of paper using correct grammar and punctuation. Be sure to
include the letter of your scenario with your responses. Also, put your
name and lab day on the top of every assignment.
Scenario _____

issues raised in the scenario, making sure to explain why you have cited the

issues, that is a problem, too.)

rating of the moral/ethical cost of the study from 0 (no ethical/moral cost)
to 10 (highest ethical/moral cost) and justify briefly (refer to #1 above).
- Assign a
rating of the potential benefits of the study from 0 (no practical or
theoretical benefits) to 10 (highest practical or theoretical benefits) and
justify your ratings.
