Student Practica

Student Practica refer to projects done by undergraduate or graduate CSI students done in order to gain experience in a particular research method (e.g., survey, interview, etc.), during a particular CSI course. Practica are NOT generalizeable research projects. Masters Theses are NOT considered student practica.

The course instructor takes full responsibility for all practica activities. CITI training Citi Training is required of all students doing practica but no application to the IRB is required. Results of student practica may NOT be published or presented at scientific meetings as research findings, nor can results be used as pilot study data.

If any doubts exist concerning the classification of projects as Student Practica, course instructors are advised to complete a Research Determination Form and submit same to the IRB for review.
