Question

A researcher is conducting a study of four graduate students enrolled in a unique university program. The foundation supporting the study wants a report providing summary information about the students’ outcomes, including their grades and survey responses. What would be the least risky option?

Answer 1

Answer:

Provide a summation of survey results, without the grades

Explanation:

         The university program which enrolled four of the graduate students wants a report that requires a summary information about the students' outcome result, their grades and survey responses.

        As a result of the requirement of the program, the students can provide the survey results and grades with the students' name on it and also mention their age and race. However providing these critical information can be harmful to the students.

         But the least risky option will be providing the survey results without mentioning the grades of the students.

Thus the answer is ---

Provide a summation of survey results, without the grades

Answer 2

Answer:

Provide a summation of survey results, without the grades

Explanation:

The least risky option would be to offer a sum of the research results, without the individual grades of the students. Informing grades could reveal students' personal information and end up revealing which student is associated with each grade, which can harm students in some way. For this reason, the ideal is to make an average calculation between the grades received by the students and to present this average, through the sum of the results.
