Assignment 1: Ethics (5%)

When conducting design evaluation studies with people as participants, it is very important to follow ethical practices.  The Government of Canada has created guidance for conducting studies with humans that you need to follow when working or being a student at Simon Fraser University.  It is called the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans or TCPS2 for short.  Even once you are finished your time at SFU, it is advised that you continue to follow approved ethical standards when conducting studies.

For this assignment you must complete the TCPS2 course online at this address individually:
