Purpose
The purpose of assignment is to: reflect on ethical issues in research studies as reflected in the movie “Miss Evers’ Boys” and a second study, located by the student, that violated ethical standards.
This assignment is intended to allow you to show evidence of the achievement of:
CLO 3: Identify ethical issues in nursing research.
Requirements: Students will write a paper in APA format of sufficient length to thoughtfully address the questions in the assignment but also be succinct and not exceed 6 pages (plus cover page and references). This assignment must be submitted to the appropriate dropbox by the due date. The dropbox will link to Turnitin. The student must achieve a green score to reflect absence of plagiarism.
To be successful with this assignment, complete these steps:
Students will watch the movie “Miss Evers’ Boys” about a landmark government study carried out over several decades by the United States government and the outstanding ethical issues surrounding it. Students will also locate another example of a research study that violated ethical standards.
The student will reflect upon these studies and respond to the rubric. Students may watch the movie with classmates, but the assignment should reflect each student’s individual thoughts and be in their own words.
It is expected that the student will consult additional resources to explore the questions more fully in the ethics reflection assignment.
This assignment is written as a paper, not just a document with answers to the questions. It must be in APA format including a cover page, paper, and reference page. The paper should be of sufficient length to thoughtfully address the questions in the assignment but also be succinct and not exceed 6 pages (plus cover page and references). See APA Format in the Additional Items and Policies section after the Course Calendar in this Syllabus. The paper will be submitted through Turnitin and should have a green score to reflect absence of plagiarism.
Your grade will be based on the percentage received out of 100 points.
