Paul, projects in Experimental Psych are for instructional purposes, and would not normally be reviewed by the IRB. Students of course are taught about the review process. For such classes and our labs, we usually send a statement to the IRB (yearly) that indicates such work is instructional and not considered research per the federal guidelines. We don't have a problem. Who are the subjects in your projects? I teach AP Psych in a high school that is an affiliate of a university. A number of years ago, I was sent a memo from the university saying that all student research would have to go through the IRB process. Separately, I was told there would probably be expedited review, but we would still have to submit proposals. Since then the students have not done any research, though all we had in mind were surveys or replications of social psych experiments. This is a loss to the students, but the IRB process would not be worth the effort.
