All students taking PSYC 203 Introduction to Psychology must complete a research participation requirement. This requirement may be completed in one of two ways. The first way is to participate in 2 units of research conducted by faculty, independent study students under the supervision of faculty, or students in the PSYC 485 Senior Thesis class. Psychology relies on empirical methods to test and refine its theories and exposure to the research process is considered an important learning experience for students. We understand, though, that some individuals may object to participation in research studies. The second way to fulfill the requirement is to read two articles and to write a two-page paper about each one. The articles must be chosen from the approved list which is posted below and on the Participant Pool bulletin board outside White Hall room 218. Whichever option you choose to complete, you must complete it by pre-registration each semester or a registration hold will be placed on your account and you will not be able to register for the next semester’s classes. Signup sheets and complete participation policies and procedures may be found on the Participant Pool Bulletin Board.
