Addressing and Assessing ethical, social and legal aspects in Graduation Projects

As the current case, there are different ways of addressing the ethical, social and legal issues but
they are not clearly focused by students:

 In the introduction chapter, students talk about the scope and the customer.
 In the literature review chapter, students study at least three related work and then
compare them with their work while presenting the importance of their work for the
society.

 In the analysis chapter, students usually talk about the collection of data and do
questionnaire or interviews with others and sometimes they include forms from the
specific company where they collected the data from or if they want to update the design
of their forms (this is about ethical and legal ways of data and information collection).
(Here we may need to force students who do not talk about the data collection). The
students acknowledge their peers, supervisors, trainers, or any stakeholder that help or
contributed in the completion of the project.

I suggest the following (and students should include them in the appendix of their report) as also
some of you also suggested that:
1. Legal issues can be checked by including a letter of approval/permission from the
company/organization in which the students do the project for them.
2. Questionnaire questions, interview questions, a letter from any organization's head in
which a student is collected information from (in any way) to confirm that the
information is legal, true, and verified.
3. Ask the students to include one or two paragraphs inside the conclusion chapter focuses
on the ethical, legal, and social issues that are part of their report. (This will be easier for
the tutor to assess them).

Be noted that students were already given proper awareness about these factors in the
"TM471-Standard Report Format".
