**Ethics Activity**

 * Lesson A**
 * 1) Download [[file:Ethics Explanation and activity.pdf]] packet on Ethics.
 * 2) Read the article carefully and highlight any important elements.
 * 3) During the first class period, you should be able to answer the questions in "Knowledge Check." SKIP NUMBER 12 (for now)


 * Lesson B**
 * 1) During this class, we will discuss your answers and I will take any questions you have.


 * Lesson C**
 * 1) Complete the "design" portion of question number 12.
 * 2) You may design any type of study (experimental or non-experimental) that you prefer, (Contravenes means "goes against / violates).
 * 3) Try to be subtle in your contraventions. Don´t make it so obvious as the illustration in question 10.
 * 4) Once you have your plan. present it to at least 1 other classmate and ask them to identify the ethical violation. They should provide you with a SHORT written list of the 5+ contraventions that you have in your study, with a SHORT (few sentences) explanation of how you could overcome them through a slight redesign of your study. This should be in writing and attached to your initial study plan.
 * 5) You will need to work quickly so that you will have time to complete the design, have it critiqued and you will have time to critique at least one study yourself.
 * 6) Be sure that you attach the critique(s) of your study (with the critic´s name on it) to the back of your plan (with your name on it). This will all be submitted in the next lesson.
