Can written consent be waived in educational research using ones own students as subjects?
A. Rarely, but this can occur for a project: 1. With minimal/no risk. 2. When the potential educational benefit outweighs any risk. 3. When the design necessitates the use of intact groups or other features that make written consent unwieldy. 4. There is no audio or video taping. 5. No identifiers are collected or data will be held in strict confidence.
