At thesmall comprehensive university in the USA, a similar protocol exists and procedures for dealingwith human subjects and research involving them is clearly defined.

Students who wereviolating the ethical rules were informed and any post was immediately removed. We observedlittle student activity on the site during the first half of the semester. During this lightly usedtime, the class took two major exams. After the second major exam the students wereencouraged to use the platform by giving them a very minor grade incentive in the form of extracredit. This incentive caused some students to begin using the software very significantly.During this incentive period, the class was given another two major exams. Data

Quinn (2012) has addressed both the psychological andphilosophical reasons for bias. The latter is related to librarian’s commitment to an ethical codewhereas the former can be both conscious and unconscious. The banning and challenging ofbooks and media has also been an act of censorship whereby works on controversial topics areplaced on a list.

One particularly lively conversation stemmed from a student inquiring whether they could capture and reproduce the RF signal from key fobs used to unlock vehicle doors. The ensuing discussion ultimately transitioned to one of vulnerability of wireless systems and strategies to improve security.

There should be no room for opinions, feelings, and/or hiddenagendas. Therefore, a mutually agreed upon evaluation scheme must be designed at thebeginning and the principles of it must be entered in the MOU. Additionally, the MOUmust have a clause that would underline the consequences in case a party unilaterallyterminates the program without substantiation.Some of the critical areas where there may be pitfalls are listed below: 1.
