PIBS 503: Research Responsibility and Ethics


I. The six topics for discussion (and associated case studies) include:

II. Registration and enrollment

III. How to prepare for a small group discussion session:

  1. View the podcast lecture (in CTools "iTunes U") associated with the session before attending a discussion of your choice. *Remember to register ahead of time.
  2. Read the written materials (in CTools “Resources”) associated with that topic before you attend the discussion.
  3. Attend the discussion. You will be expected to discuss the case studies and the material presented in the podcast, to listen to what others in the group have to say, but most importantly, to contribute to the discussion, yourself.
  4. Don’t forget to submit the date you attended (in CTools “Assignments”).
  5. Attend all 6 (50 min each) small group sessions by the end of winter term.
  6. Receive your certificate of completion.

You probably have questions. I will be happy to respond to them (kfbarald@umich.edu).
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we launch this new effort.

Best wishes,
Kate Barald
Course Director
