Ask the course assistant
A grounded assistant for this course
Ask a question and get an answer taken from these pages, with the page it came from.
The course assistant answers questions from these pages only. It is not a general research assistant, and it will say when the course does not cover something.
What it is good for
- Checking a definition: what does "support CRLWs" mean in the IBISES model?
- Finding the page that covers a problem: what do I do when a participant discloses harm?
- Testing your understanding before the knowledge check.
- Asking the awkward question you would rather not ask the supervisor.
Three rules for using it well
- Never paste participant data, consent forms or anything that identifies a person. The assistant is a public service. Work on anonymised examples only.
- Ask where the answer came from. Every answer should name a page. If it cannot, treat the answer as unverified.
- Check anything that sounds like policy. Rates, legal duties and form names change. The reference library names the authoritative source for each.
What it will not do
- Give clinical, legal or benefits advice.
- Mark your assessment. The assessment has named human assessors, and that is deliberate.
- Invent a source. If it names a study, the study is in the library. If it is not there, tell me and I will add it or correct the assistant.
