Bob Manchester is a graduate student with an interest in science education. He asks Professor Dexter for permission to do a survey of her students in a science course taken by education majors. He receives permission and distributes a questionnaire to the class the following week. The questionnaire is designed to assess student attitudes toward science. As Mr. Manchester distributes the questionnaire, he assures the students that their responses will be kept confidential and that the purpose of their writing their names on the forms is just for record keeping.

After performing a preliminary analysis, Mr. Manchester tells Professor Dexter that the results will be better understood if he could correlate them with how students were performing in her class. Without this additional data, he will not be able to include this work in his master's thesis.

How should Professor Dexter respond?
