Subject: Sarcastic Lecture on Ethical Approval
I gave this presentation to the Netlab group about Ethical Approval at
UVic. I think it is reasonably accurate. The unfortunate fact about
ethical review at UVic is it is anything but ethical. It simply is a
university trying to move responsibility and blame onto the researcher
as well as enforcing Tri-Council Ethical Policy and ensuring funding and
reputation are not damaged.
The Tri-Council Ethical Policy is not about research ethics but really about informing participants how they are being used in a study. The ethics of the actual research are not important. At least that's how I percieve it.

Subject: Long Time ;)
In a previous course... Seng480a software visualization me and a few
other members worked on a technology called lenses which you overlay
multiple layers of information and you use lenses to move between them.
Anyways I regret not publishing about it because if we look here:
