Informed consent is a standard part of research studies. As part of the IRB application process, researchers create a sample consent form that is submitted with their study protocol. This consent form will be used with participants to inform them of the study and, once the study has been explained, the participants will sign the informed consent form. As part of the process, the informed consent form needs to include a description of what the study involves, including risks and benefits, if the study is confidential, and how the study data is used.The Unit 3 Assignment will include two parts; the consent form and the paper. Both parts should be presented in the following manner with a title, introduction, conclusion, and reference page. Submit the assignment as multiple attachments including the following:1-2 page paper in a Word document
Completed Informed Consent Form
Using the template provided, create a sample informed consent form to conduct a study of interest to you (you can create a study from a topic you have discussed in prior weeks, but this is not required). The goal is to create a draft of an informed consent form similar to that which a researcher would submit to an IRB board for review. Discuss in 12 pages how you would design this study to adhere to ethical guidelines. Be sure to include the five ethical principles and how your study will conform to them. Be sure to operationally define your variables and state what scales of measurement would be used, including description of why that scale was chosen.

4. Use the theory that is the topic on the day that you present to analyze your leader. In what ways does your leader match the theory? Not match? Give examples to support your points.
5. If appropriate, are there other theories we have covered that better explain your leader?
6. What is your overall assessment of your leader and what is the basis for your assessment?
7. Would you want to work for/with your leader? Why or why not?
8. What three helpful ideas for our careers that we can learn from your leader?

profile essay is a portrait of a person, place, event, or thing. It presents the subject in an entertaining way that conveys its significance, showing us something or someone that we may not have known existed or that we see every day but dont know much about (Bullock and Goggin 224). A profile essay is an attempt at showcasing a person, place, event, or thing. A profile essay is not an overt analysis of something (I liked, didnt like, etc.) Think documentary film or newspaper profile. Use significant details: What or whom is your profile about? Why is a profile on this topic important?
Organize the profile clearly, stay focused on the significant details
