      Self- or Peer-Assessment for Chapter 1

      This activity will help you evaluate the quality of your own (or a colleague’s) abstract, which you wrote in Problem 1.7b. This rubric also provides you with a clear description of mastery for Chapter 1 skills.¹

      ¹ Based on AAC&U’s VALUE Written Communication Rubric.

      Instructions

      For each criterion, in the “Student’s Assessment” box, indicate the level of mastery that most describes your work, and then in the box that follows, provide justification based on excerpts or examples from your own work (i.e., “see sentences 2–3”).

      Chapter 2 Ethics

      Introduction

      In this chapter, we’ll dive into the considerations social science researchers must make when working with human subjects. These considerations arise from a long history of developing ethical codes for our disciplines, some of which were the result of debates in cases where researchers may have conducted unethical research. As a result, there are standards and processes to ensure we do not harm the people we are studying.
