Use of Human Subjects in Research  

Case Study  

Educational Assessment 

Option A.

Because this is a teaching activity, it is not classified as research. You may carry out this assessment with no further approvals.

This would not be appropriate.

You have designed this project so that your results will be applicable to other cases, and you intend to publish your findings. Because the project is designed to yield generalizable information, it is classified as research.

Your project also involves interaction with human subjects, i.e., the students assigned to either the lecture or online groups.

This means that your project must be submitted to the Nonmedical Human Subjects Panel for review and approval.
