Need your support for a research project

[Surangika Ranathunga]

Hi All

I am looking for volunteers to support an urgent research evaluation task.

You will be given a scenario as the one given below, and a list of norms. Your task is to read each scenario and indicate whether the norms have been violated or not in each of those scenarios. 

This task should take about 2 hours max, and you have to complete it within one week. If you think you can allocate this time for this task, please respond to this email and I will send you the task sheet. Your contribution will be acknowledged in the research paper arising from this work.
