Research Proposal

This is a group assignment. In groups of three, choose or develop a proposal dealing with an important issue on campus or in your workplace. Follow the guidelines in "The Collaborative Window" on page 294 of your textbook.

Possible topics (or you may develop your own)

  1. Recently, the RIAA and MPAA have been initiating lawsuits against college students who they believe are engaged in illegal file-sharing. These organizations have been contacting Universities for information on the students, and in most cases, the Universities have been turning over student information in response. How should a University respond to a threatened RIAA or MPAA lawsuit against its students?

  2. The quality of care at Veteran's Administration (VA) hospitals has been in the news recently, but there has not been much focus on psychological care of US veterans in VA hospitals. Several reports, however, suggest that the care could be improved. How?

Once the proposal is approved, you can begin the final report.
