The Ethical Conduct of Research The IRB Approval Process Requirements of the Course:
Classroom Participation (online and on ground): Learning takes place through sharing of ideas with colleagues, so attendance at every class is expected. Class participation grades will be based on discussion regarding critical issues and questions raised by required readings and critique of select nursing research studies.
Assignments: Specific assignments will be determined based on the research practicum experiences and will be posted at least two weeks prior to the due date.
1. Students will maintain a weekly reflective and critical evaluation journal to demonstrate research activities. Journals will include references from related readings for the weekly work. Journals will be submitted monthly on prior to the on campus class. Journals will be written using APA Format.
2. Students will submit an application to IRB or an equivalent assignment based on the research with which they are working.
3. Students will participate in a seminar where each will present and receive feedback on the research with which they are working. This seminar will take place in an on campus setting.
4. Each student will select a manuscript on a topic related to one of three assigned topics to be determined and will lead the weekly discussion online for the selected journal article.
99 Papers are to be written in A.P.A. format and should reflect critical analysis and synthesis of pertinent literature on the topic. Papers should also exhibit individual creativity and innovation.
Academic Integrity Statement
• Every KSU student is responsible for upholding the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, as published in the Undergraduate and Graduate catalogs. Section II of the Student Code of Conduct addresses the University's policy on academic honesty, including
provisions regarding plagiarism and cheating, unauthorized access to University materials, misrepresentation/falsification of University records or academic work, malicious removal, retention, or destruction of library materials,
malicious/intentional misuse of computer facilities and/or services, and misuse of student identification cards. Incidents of alleged academic misconduct will be handled through the established procedures of the University Judiciary Program, which includes either an
"informal" resolution by a faculty member, resulting in grade adjustment, or a formal hearing procedure, which may subject a student to the Code of Conduct's minimum one semester suspension requirement.
• Preparation for class and active participating in class discussion are expectations. The syllabus may change. Students are responsible for changes in the course and other announcements in class and by e-mail.
• Students who find that they cannot continue in the university for the entire semester because of illness or other reason should complete an official withdrawal form. Forms may be obtained from the Office of the Registrar. Students who officially withdraw from the university with the approval of the Dean will be assigned grades of "W". This grade will not affect the overall scholastic average.
• Students may, by means of the same withdrawal form, and with the approval of the Dean, withdraw from individual courses while retaining other courses on their schedules. See University Course Schedule for the last day to withdraw without academic penalty. Failure to withdraw by the appropriate date will mean that the student has elected to receive the final grades earned in the course. The only exceptions to these withdrawal regulations will be for those instances that involve unusual and fully documented circumstances.
CELLPHONESANDPAGERS
As a courtesy to others, please turn off all cell phones and pagers prior to class beginning. If you are anticipating an emergency call, please put your cell phone on silence and notify your instructor.
