Annette- I'd have no problem with what you describe here either. You seem to be very open about what you are doing and why. Am I correct in assuming you are notifying the student's up front so they can have the choice to continue or not? (A poorly phrased question!) If so, I don't see the potential for trouble that I would if you were not explaining what you were doing. Tim

So it's important that I have the students in my classes exposed directly to what I am doing. And, I want them to be able to get credit for the experience, since they are participating in research. So I don't think it's a dual relationship because I would want them to be my participants any way you look at it and they migh as well as part of their research credit this way. Our irb has no problem with this. Annette Quoting Ken Steele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I am curious how tips folks would react to the following situation.
