For each exercise, you will collect data from research subjects, solicited from the PSY 201 undergraduate research pool. All class members will then pool their data, and you will analyze the class data. Thus, it is very important that you collect the data and bring it to class on the specified date. There will be 3 exams during the term. Questions assess knowledge and understanding of the reading materials, class lectures and discussions, laboratory exercises, data analysis, and APA style.
All exams are cumulative.
If you miss an exam, for any reason, there will be ONE scheduled make-up during the last week of the term. Its format will be essay and the questions may be taken from any of the material we cover during the semester. One way psychologists communicate their research to others is by publishing their work in professional journals. Journal of Personality and Social Psychology , Journal of Experimental Social Psychology , and Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin are three leading journals in social psychology. Although the content of these journals varies, their format is similar.
