We recommend that students check the course web-page for some example questions in order to prepare themselves for the way the question are formulated. The grading scale will be A-F.
The course requires two assignments:
History: Students must research and write an essay of a psychologist of their own choosing (3-5 pages). The essay will be graded accepted/not accepted.
Methods: Students must also participate in a psychological study. At the start of the semester, several research projects will be presented which students can participate in. Students choose themselves which research project they wish to join to get credit from the experimenter running the study. Students who cannot participate in any of the research projects must write a summary (3-5 pages) of an empirical research article in order to get credit for this assignment.
