high ranking and why we are in the top 5% of business schools in the world. As part of this Fox
wants and requires all students to participate in and learn about research in business. A total of
50 points in this course will come from participation in research that is conducted by Fox School
of Business faculty and students or completion of an alternate assignment. Grading will be based
on a pass/fail basis. If you complete the assignment (by November 19th) you will receive 50
points. If you do not complete the assignment by November 19th, you will receive 0 points for
this component of your grade.
Option 1: Participate in one (1) hour of HRM or Marketing studies conducted by Fox
School of Business faculty. Some of the research studies or experiments can be completed
online (at your convenience), while others will be conducted in a campus laboratory or
classroom setting. Access to all studies is through this website: https://foxschool.sonasystems.com. Once going to this site you need to set up an account and then you can view
the different research project options and sign up for the project you want.
*** Please note that students should maintain THEIR OWN COPIES of
documentation received from SONA showing that they have completed
research credits. In the unlikely event that there is some discrepancy between
what students think they have completed and the reporting from the system,
students MUST be able to show this documentation to receive appropriate
credit. ***
Option 2: Write a three (3) double-spaced page research paper summarizing one (1)
scholarly research article that used human subjects in the research. The article MUST have
been published in the Journal of Applied Psychology, Personnel Psychology, Journal of
Organizational Behavior, or the Journal of Management. Articles from journals OTHER
THAN those noted will NOT BE ACCEPTED.
The full text of articles in these journals is available from the TU Library using TU Portal.
When reading and reviewing the article, explain how human subjects were used in the
research, and explain how the use of human subjects provided insight into how consumers
think and behave. Attach a reference list in APA format (author(s), date, title of article,
name of journal, volume, issue, pages). Papers must be submitted before the deadline as a
Word document to SafeAssign, located on the Blackboard site for this course. Papers
WILL be checked using anti-plagiarism component of SafeAssign.
To receive credit, 1) the article must come from one of the four journals listed above, 2)
your summary must be at least three double-spaced page, 3) the summary must be in your
own words (no plagiarism).
The due date for completing either option is November 19th. No late submissions will be
accepted
Detailed instructions for Option 1:
The Sona website keeps track of the number of hours students have successfully completed.
Instructors may provide students with an interim report on their progress, but keeping track of
progress is the students responsibility. Once a student has completed the one (1) hours of
research studies required, they MUST print the information from the website and KEEP A
COPY FOR THEIR RECORDS. You do not need to turn it in unless instructed by your
professor as the professor will get a report, but you must keep this as a back-up in case of an
error.
