Plagiarism and cheating of any sort will not be tolerated. How and when the work will be made up will be determined by the instructor. Opportunity to make-up the missed work requires prior notification of the absence and an excused absence (that is one that you instructor accepts as reasonable and legitimate). Make-ups are very rarely given without prior notification of an absences. If you are going to miss a quiz or an exam it is critically important that you notify me AS SOON AS YOU KNOW that you'll be absent and WHY.More details about this project will be discussed later in the course.

The research project assignment will be a group project, with a presentation component and an APA style written component. Some will be turned in on disk, others on paper, and some over e-mail (and there may even be a combination of these different methods). Homeworks are typically due the week following coverage of a particular topic in class. The research project will be worth 25% of your final grade. Homework will count for 30% of your final grade, the first take-home exam will be worth 20%, and the second take-home exam will be worth 25%. If time permits, towards the end of the semester, we will also look at a computer program designed to make and run psychology experiments (Psyscope).Įach student will be evaluated based on their performance on homework exercises (usually one per week) two take home exams, and a project proposal. Special emphasis will be placed on the use of computer statistical packages to analyze psychological data (SPSS). In particular, the course will focus on using a word processor (MS-Word), a spreadsheet program (MS-Excel), an e-mail program (Eudora), and a presentation program (MS-PowerPoint).
