Additional Marks For Research Participation Experience in psychological studies and experiments forms an essential component of psychology. In many universities, psychology students often gain their first rudimentary experience of what psychology involves by acting as participants in experiments or respondents of surveys. This opportunity, while also awarding additional marks for participation, is provided in this course to (a) develop a personal understanding of psychology research from the perspectives of both a student of psychology and a participant in a study, (b) be better positioned to evaluate other research studies, and (c) understand, at a broad level, how psychological science is advanced.
More information about this research participation programme will be posted on Canvas L01 Announcements after Week 1.
TMA Instructions This assignment equips you with basic survey building skills which are useful for conducting research as part of your studies (e.g., in higher-level Psychology courses) or may be useful in the workplace. Designing surveys develop critical thinking and analytical skills.
