Alternate Activity: Research Articles and Questions
If you want to earn credit without participating in an experiment, you may complete the following assignment.
Several research articles relating to psychological research are available on Blackboard. The title of the books from which the articles are drawn are “Forty Studies That Changed Psychology: Explorations into the History of Psychological Research” by Roger Hock and “Introducing Psychological Research: Sixty Studies that Shape Psychology” by Philip Banyard and Andrew Grayson. These articles are accessed online. Log into http://blackboard.jmu.edu, select under “My Organizations,” "Psychology Participant Pool" and look in "Research Articles" to find these readings and corresponding quizzes. To receive one unit of credit, read one article and then complete the quiz that corresponds to that article. When you submit your quiz within Blackboard, the system will say that your quiz has been received, but you will not receive credit until your essay questions have been graded. Please allow 10 days for grading. Additional instructions for completing Alternate Activities are available within Blackboard under “information.” It is your responsibility to verify that your quiz is submitted correctly.
