Abstract

John Holcomb's provocative case raises a number of issues regarding the ethics of the scholarship of teaching and learning. I will explore the issue of a control group, which I have thought about and dealth with in the conect of my own classroom research. But I want to start by discussing John's concern about asking students to perform in ways that come "out of the blue." My view of this issue is foundational to my perspective on the use of control groups.
