You took the words right out of my mouth Brandon! It is VERY necessary to ensure that researchers not only follow ethical guidlines for their work, but to also be informed of past abuses of research and why the current rules are in place. This, hopefully, will allow someone versed in this area to structure functional and ethical practices as well as have the ability to point out and correct bad methods. If only the information were in video form like, say a Discovery Channel program, it would be much more interesting and easy to absorb...to me at least!
It seems that at some point, especially in higher education, that a general ethics class should be taken so that the government, a board, or committee is not necessary for creating the standards of moral behavior inside and outside of the classroom. We've got a long way to go, but these quizzes are a start!
