Ethics

During the production stage of researching for the essay, it is important to know and learn the ethical concern for the research and data collecting.

In the UH Student Handbook, the assessment criteria describe the fulfilment of the learning outcomes of a module expressed in terms of the qualities of the work.
There are 2 forms of assessment:i. Formative assessment  
(progress) part of daily teaching and learning experience in tutorials (advice and comments/feedback offered

ii. Summative assessment 
Standard of achievement in relation to the learning outcomes of the module. purpose is to show that I have fulfilled the learning outcomes of this module


a REMINDER for submission!
- responsibility to be familiar with the requirements, deadlines, penalties.
- requirement to submit all work for assessment
- responsibility for making things clear at the end of each piece of the assignment being submitted for assessment and any other participants I have worked with.


Ethics approval is very important during the working phase of producing the essay if it involves the participation of other peoples. The approval will be given by the Faculty Ethics Committee (UH) by completing an Application for Ethics Approval. 

This Application for Approval is made for the protection of the participants involved in the studies from any harm and also to allow them to understand what and why they participate.

There are 4 categories of the ethical issue and risk:
Minimal ethical issues (no work with individuals or organisations).
Low risk (collecting information from adults or organisations but without identifying individuals)
Medium risk (collecting information from adults or organisations that could make subjects identifiable).
High risk (collecting information about illegal activities and/or working)


The author's ethical issues will fall under the category of Minimal Ethical Issues as there will be no participation of any individual or organisations in the research and data collecting. There will also be no participation of any children and illegal things in the study. However, the author will use online journal, library books, genuine articles to study. No plagiarism is allow when the research is being conducted. In addition, the resources used has to be cited and given credits to the author or expert who produced it. Various theories with high quality research will be applied into the essay to support my analysis.
