Psy 222 Research Methods
Spring 2020

A note about finishing the semester online
This week I will begin posting a few class activities and exercises (see links below).  These activities replace what we would normally do during class.

Please also continue working on your APA paper on our class research project.  Also, I've posted the complete study guide for Exam 2, if you want to start working your way through that.

In additional to Exam 2 and the APA paper, the only other work we must do to finish the semester is the group research project.  Each group will make a poster about their project.  In place of the usual in-person poster session, we will share our posters electronically (more details about that later).

To complete the group projects, I am asking each research group to designate a group leader by Friday April 3rd. I will communicate with the leader via email, who will in turn update the other group members on the project's progress.  Current circumstances dictate that all group projects must now be structured for online data collection.  Working with each group, I will put the study online and help you collect data. This may mean choosing a new topic for your project.  If you need project ideas, the group leader can contact me.  Keep in mind that there are 8 research groups, so each research project will necessarily have to be fairly simple.  However, even simple studies can be very interesting!

Please check this page at least 2 or 3 times a week, to keep up with class.  And email me if you have any questions.
