Our project was to find out what departments/agencies at the college have ethics guidelines for student research. We devised a survey, and the class called nearly 200 of the departments listed in the student directory - 45 of which were academic departments. When calling, we asked whether the department had guidelines for student research, whether they had copies of these guidelines in the department or whether these guidelines were posted on the web. Once the data had been collected, the answers were coded as an spss data file.
