Data Acquisition and Misconduct Assignment Instructions
2 min read The purpose of these case studies is to equip you to apply course reading and theological ethics to ethical issues in science and research. The case studies provide you the opportunity to demonstrate your analysis of a situation and convey that material to others—fundamental skills for researchers and academicians.
Instructions
For each case study assignment, you will write a 1,000 – 1,500-word essay responding to a case study from your reading in the Shamoo and Resnik text. At the end of each textbook chapter, the authors provide a series of case studies. Pick one case study from either chapters 2 or 3 (Misconduct in Research or Data Acquisition and Management) and respond to the corresponding questions. Make sure that you:
· Clearly indicate which case study you are responding to (do not copy/paste the case—simply note, for example: “Chapter 3, Case Study 2.”
· Type the question prompts and then respond to the prompts.
· Your paper should include a minimum of 3 peer-reviewed sources and one theological-ethical source in APA format. Theological sources cannot simply be a biblical reference without textual commentary/analysis. Do not force the theological reflections, but ground them in evidential, textual, and exegetical reflection.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
