The Compensation section in all four consent forms states that the participants can still earn extra credit if without participating by opting out of allowing you to use their data. However, no instructions on how to opt out are being provided and the surveys and interviews are only being done for research purposes. Therefore, please provide instructions in the consent forms for how to opt out and clarify if you are asking the participants to complete these research activities for extra credit, where you will not use their data for research purposes if they opt out.
Old compensation text:
Bucknell CSCI205 students will receive extra credit. Full compensation will not be given to those who withdraw early or do not complete the study. Students who wish to earn the extra credit but not participate in the study may participate but opt out of having any data persisted for research purposes. Instructors will not receive compensation.
New compensation text:
