Human Subject Research

[marsters_k@knight.gannon.edu]

Hi, folks--
	I just submitted my scheme for a one-credit tutor-training
course to the English department personnel committee (thanks to
many of you for your input).  One component of the course
was observation--enrolled students would be asked to spend two to
three hours visiting other tutoring centers on campus or at local\
high schools observing.  The committee pointed out that this
would require special releases, proposals, all kinds of things
because such visits would constitute Human Subject Research.
I would rather be safe than sorry, but wonder, have any of you
run into this before, and how have you handled it?

	Thanks--Kate Marsters, Gannon U, Erie PA
