WHO? ALL Psychology 001 students.

WHAT? Students are required to participate in 4 hours of research during the course of their enrollment
in Psychology 001. There are three ways to earn this credit:

• SIGN-UP SHEETS. Outside DMH 358, you may sign up for valid studies at the Sign-Up Boards. You should be aware that if you don't show up to your scheduled appointment, you will lose an equal number of credit hours. Please be considerate of other people's time. Cancellation requires 24 hrs advance notice to the researcher.
• OPEN RESEARCH DAYS. These are days when many researchers conduct their experiments on the same day in Dudley Moorehead Hall. Students can go from room to room, collecting up to several credit hours in one day. You do not sign-up for this event. Just show up. First come, first serve basis. If there are a lot of researchers who wish to participate, then we will hold this event on a weekend. This event is NOT a guarantee, nor that you will get all the available hours at the event. Check the Sign-up Board for updates.
• ALTERNATIVE ASSIGNMENT. (For when you are unable to do the two ways above or you need a few more hours to complete this requirement.) NOTE: if you do this Assignment, then please indicate how many hours you plan on completing to the right of where you place your name.

WHEN? Open Research Days are: To be announced. Please see Sign-up Board for update.

WHERE? Open Research Days are held in Dudley Moorhead Hall. Just follow the signs once you enter the building -- the experimenters will be in the classrooms waiting for you.

WHY? This research experience is not only required by the department as part of the Psychology 001 curriculum, but if you participate willingly, you will learn a great deal about how psychology works. Who knows, you may like what you see and become a psychology researcher!
