Basically any kind of data acquisition from human subjects requires IRB approval. If you want to ask people what kind of shampoo they use you need approval. This is not a joke. It is irrelevant that you think that the participants could be not be harmed by it (but it usually makes it easier to get approval).
Really, I want to point this out for Anthony's benefit. He might be unable to use the data for academic purposes if he does not follow proper procedure. -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
