Research and Ethics (graded)

As our text explains, conducting research for workplace situations is a little different than doing research for academic writing (see Figure 9-1). For this discussion, consider the topic you have chosen for your Course Project and

1. describe the topic and explain the different types of sources you plan to review. In addition to literature reviews, are you considering conducting primary research for your project? If so, please describe. If not, describe what type of primary research could be used. Be sure to review the discussion of primary research in the textbook; and

2. discuss any ethical or legal issues you might have to consider. Refer back to Chapter 1 for a review of these topics.
