You will gain experience in reporting scientific investigations via two lab research reports that you will write in which you will report the results of class projects. Since this is an action-oriented course, it is essential that you be present at each lab session. Thus, class attendance is mandatory , and absences will be considered only in cases of extreme hardship. The requirements of this lab include participating in class projects, completing the exercises and written assignments, and taking two quizzes. The instructor retains the right to lower these criteria, but they will not be raised under any circumstances.
Environmental psychology is a fundamentally research-oriented discipline.
