Research Seminar - EDUC 790-03
Fall 2014 Dr. Deborah Stine Reflection… This course is part of the five unit course of Research Seminars. The focus of this research seminar was to learn about the Institutional Review Board (IRB) and the process of submitting my research proposal for IRB approval. I attended an IRB meeting and did a follow up presentation to the group. It was interesting to experience the IRB process and protocol during my observation of the meeting. What was appalling to me is when we discussed during our class meetings on how students don’t take the IRB process, timeline and the approval seriously when planning their research process. The course discussions and presentations were very helpful. The risks and benefits of a research proposal and answering the questions thoroughly on “who, what, when, and how questions” in completing the IRB proposal is crucial. The opportunity to complete a draft version of my own IRB application was helpful. Dr. Stine provided on-going feedback and guided me throughout the quarter. |
