Formal instruction will end on the last day of class. Provided that you have an active Penn State Access Account user ID and password, you will continue to be able to access the course materials for one year, starting from the end date of the academic semester in which the course was offered (with the exception of library reserves and other external resources that may have a shorter archival period). After one year, you might be able to access the course based on the policies of the program or department offering the course material, up to a maximum of three years from the end date of the academic semester in which the course was offered. For more information, please review the University Course Archival Policy .
Your final grade will be based on completion of the Quizzes, Web-Assignments, Journal Assignments, and Exams.
Please refer to the University Grading Policy for Undergraduate Courses for additional information about University grading policies. If, for reasons beyond the student's control, a student is prevented from completing a course within the prescribed time, the grade in that course may be deferred with the concurrence of the instructor. The symbol DF appears on the student's transcript until the course has been completed. Non-emergency permission for filing a deferred grade must be requested by the student before the beginning of the final examination period. In an emergency situation, an instructor can approve a deferred grade after the final exam period has started. Under emergency conditions during which the instructor is unavailable, authorization is required from one of the following: the dean of the college in which the candidate is enrolled; the executive director of the Division of Undergraduate Studies if the student is enrolled in that division or is a provisional student; or the campus chancellor of the student's associated Penn State campus. For additional information please refer to the Deferring a Grade page.
The Order of Materials: This course is presented in a specific order, and you must complete the work in that order. See the Course Schedule for a complete list of readings and assignments.
Late Work: Late work is NOT accepted unless approved by the instructor prior to the due date. Turning in something late without informing the instructor that it was going to be late will result in a zero for that assignment. If you make arrangements to turn something in late (i.e. tell me prior to the due date that you are turning in something late) it will result in a loss of 5% per day after the due date. In other words, you will lose one entire grade level for every 2 days late.
Academic Dishonesty : All work must be your own. Do not work on paper assignments with others, unless you are instructed to do so. Cheating on exams will not be tolerated and will be dealt with according to University policies (See policy at http://www.psu.edu/ufs/policies/ ). It may result in failing the course. The University views academic integrity and dishonesty as follows: Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud and deception and is an educational objective of this institution. Academic dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarizing, fabricating of information or citations, facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others, having unauthorized possession of examinations, submitting work of another person or work previously used without informing the instructor, or tampering with the academic work of other students.
Accommodations for Special Needs : The Pennsylvania State University encourages qualified persons with disabilities to participate in its programs and activities. If you anticipate needing any type of accommodation in this course or have questions about physical access, please tell the instructor as soon as possible.

According to Penn State policy G-9: Academic Integrity , an academic integrity violation is âan intentional, unintentional, or attempted violation of course or assessment policies to gain an academic advantage or to advantage or disadvantage another student academically.â Unless your instructor tells you otherwise, you must complete all course work entirely on your own, using only sources that have been permitted by your instructor, and you may not assist other students with papers, quizzes, exams, or other assessments. If your instructor allows you to use ideas, images, or word phrases created by another person (e.g., from Course Hero or Chegg) or by generative technology, such as ChatGPT, you must identify their source. You may not submit false or fabricated information, use the same academic work for credit in multiple courses, or share instructional content. Students with questions about academic integrity should ask their instructor before submitting work.
Students facing allegations of academic misconduct may not drop/withdraw from the affected course unless they are cleared of wrongdoing (see G-9: Academic Integrity ). Attempted drops will be prevented or reversed, and students will be expected to complete course work and meet course deadlines. Students who are found responsible for academic integrity violations face academic outcomes, which can be severe, and put themselves at jeopardy for other outcomes which may include ineligibility for Deanâs List, pass/fail elections, and grade forgiveness. Students may also face consequences from their home/major program and/or The Schreyer Honors College.
How Academic Integrity Violations Are Handled World Campus students are expected to act with civility and personal integrity; respect other students' dignity, rights, and property; and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their own efforts. An environment of academic integrity is requisite to respect for oneself and others, as well as a civil community.
In cases where academic integrity is questioned, the Policy on Academic Integrity indicates that procedure requires an instructor to inform the student of the allegation. Procedures allow a student to accept or contest a charge. If a student chooses to contest a charge, the case will then be managed by the respective college or campus Academic Integrity Committee. If that committee recommends an administrative sanction (Formal Warning, Conduct Probation, Suspension, Expulsion), the claim will be referred to the Office of Student Accountability and Conflict Response.
All Penn State colleges abide by this Penn State policy, but review procedures may vary by college when academic dishonesty is suspected. Information about Penn State's academic integrity policy and college review procedures is included in the information that students receive upon enrolling in a course. To obtain that information in advance of enrolling in a course, please contact us by going to the Contacts & Help page .
Penn State welcomes students with disabilities into the University's educational programs. Every Penn State campus has resources for students with disabilities. The Student Disability Resources (SDR) website provides contacts for disability services at every Penn State campus. For further information, please visit the SDR website .
In order to apply for reasonable accommodations , you must contact the appropriate disability resources office at the campus where you are officially enrolled, participate in an intake interview, and provide documentation based on the documentation guidelines . If the documentation supports your request for reasonable accommodations, your campus's disability resources office will provide you with an accommodation letter. Please share this letter with your instructors and discuss the accommodations with them as early in your courses as possible. You must follow this process for every semester that you request accommodations.
For information about additional policies regarding Penn State Access Accounts; credit by examination; course tuition, fees, and refund schedules; and drops and withdrawals, please see the World Campus Student Center website.

Course Requirements and Expectations
Exams: There will be three exams and a comprehensive final. Exams will be made up of multiple choice, short answer, and short essay questions. You can use printed or handwritten notes during the exam (no electronic devices), but the exam is timed, so you won’t have time to look up everything, or even many things (so you still need to study). I recommend studying as if you won’t have the option to look things up, and then only using it when you really need to. The plan right now is for the exams to be in person, in the classroom. If that has to change at some point, you’ll get a week’s notice at least.
· Exam 1 will be on February 18 and will cover the basics of the scientific method, scientific knowing, replication, theories, basic and applied research, and understanding graphs, tables, and articles.
· Exam 2 will be on March 30 and will cover scientific writing, measurement, reliability and validity, the observational method, sampling, surveys, and correlations.
· Exam 3 will be on April 22 and will cover experiments, advanced experiments, and ethics.
· Exam 4 will be on May 10 (exam week—Tuesday at 10am). It will cover the material since the last exam PLUS information from throughout the semester.
Research proposal : You will design a study to test a hypothesis that you are interested in. The research proposal will include an introduction that pulls together previous research on the topic (aka a literature review). This is not just a compilation of separate paragraphs, each describing one study--you should organize the studies you read in a coherent manner, analyzing what others have done and leading into what needs to be done next (your study) and what you expect to find. You will then have a method section detailing who your participants would be and what you would have them do, a results section describing what your expected results are and how you would analyze to find them, and a discussion section detailing the implications of your expected results. These should be followed by a list of references (in APA style), and appendices (including questionnaires used). You will turn in the introduction first, then the methods and expected results, and finally the entire paper (with revisions to previous sections based on feedback). The paper should be in the latest APA style. There are sample papers available in Blackboard.
Homework/Lab exercises: There will be homework exercises and/or lab exercises each week that will be assigned in class to give you practice with course concepts. They include article summaries, computer exercises, class demonstrations, and data collection. The pre-paper assignments (e.g., reference section, outline, annotated bibliography) count as part of your homework grade. In-class assignments such as practice sheets and small group activities will also be included in this part of your grade. Lab assignments generally count twice as much (10 pts.) as in-class activities (5 pts). Points for homework assignments vary from 5 to 25 depending on the assignment. See further information on assignments for more details.
Course Schedule
The schedule is tentative—it’s possible that some topics may take a little longer or get covered more quickly depending on class understanding, which may also affect due dates, especially for smaller (e.g., homework) assignments. Exam dates and due dates for the paper should be set, but we may still need to be flexible. At any rate, the exams and paper assignments will not be moved forward.
Further details on each assignment are provided here and in Blackboard. Unless indicated otherwise, all assignments should be submitted via BlackBoard.
Hyperlinks on dates are to PowerPoint slides. They will be posted each week by the start of class.

How can I do well in this course?
The most important thing to do if you want to do well in this course is to come to class and pay attention. Keep up with assignments, especially for the paper, and read the extra information I put online for that and the other assignments. Start on the paper assignments early. Talk to me and/or the TA about anything you don’t understand, and meet with me about your paper. Read the book and other assigned readings.
I’ve heard this is a hard class and a lot of work. I’m scared.
Not technically a question, but yes, this is a challenging class, but one that you can totally do well in if you try. Use the resources (e.g., readings, information in Bb), instructor, and TA to help you. It’s a 4 credit class and writing intensive, so you should expect to spend about 12 hours a week on the class on average. You’ve got this.
What is this “lab” thing?
There are two main types of labs we’ll do during the semester. One is paper related—we’ll work on exercises and workshop ideas to help you improve your paper. The other involves practice the with types of research we’re learning about in class—e.g., designing a survey or taking part in an experiment and discussing your experiences.
Why are there so many assignments?
I’ve been teaching research methods for a long time, and I don’t assign things just for the thrill of grading them. Every assignment has a purpose—to help you become a better critical thinker, writer, and consumer of research and prepare you for later assignments and test. The rationale for each assignment, how many points it is worth, and its grading criteria are detailed below.
What if I can’t make it to class because I’m sick or for other reasons?
If you email me by 10am the day of class, I can send you a zoom link for class. I don’t recommend doing this regularly, as it’s harder to pay attention online and people who’ve done this in the past have tended to do poorly in the class. If you let me know before class, you can also make up any in-class or lab activities we do that day in class. You’ll need to turn those in by the next class period. If your absence is or may be COVID-related, you should also fill out the Panther Health survey .
What if the weather is bad?
If UNI cancels face-to-face classes, we’ll move class online to zoom at the regular time. If they don’t cancel, I will be here as usual, but if it’s dangerous for you to get in, you can email me and get the zoom link.
Can I turn things in late?
You get two “free” late passes, that is, you can turn in up to 2 assignments up to 48 hours late with no penalty and no need for a rationale. Turning things in late may delay you getting feedback on them. The “free passes” do not apply to the final paper or extra credit. Any additional late assignments, or ones later than 48 hours, will have half a letter grade (5 points) taken off per day. If illness or other things become an issue for you, talk to me.
What if I’m sick and can’t take the test on time?
If you are too sick, are isolating, or have a family emergency, etc. (vacations are not a good excuse), let me know before the test and we will discuss options. Your test may be different from that given to the rest of the class in that case.
Can I use a paper I wrote or am writing for another class to fill the requirements for this one?
No. You should write an original paper for this course. If you’re doing a research project or other project and want to do this paper on a similar (but not the same) topic, that might be possible. Talk to me.
What’s the deal with plagiarism and cheating?
They are bad. Make sure you read and follow the UNI Academics Ethics Policy ( http://www.uni.edu/policies/301 ). We’ll also talk about plagiarism and ways to avoid it in class. Cheating and plagiarism of any kind or amount will result in lowered grades, including a possible 0 on the assignment in question and/or F in the class, regardless of intentions. If you have any questions about what is acceptable, ask. Note that it is not acceptable to use secondary sources in scientific writing—you should cite and read the primary source.
How do I find materials for class?
The syllabus is online and can be accessed directly from my home page, but it is also linked in Blackboard. Many resources are linked directly from the syllabus, including the PowerPoint slides. If the slides don’t open when you click on them, then right click on the link and choose “open in another window.” You should then be able to hit return on that page and download the slides. Slides will be posted sometime before each class session (usually but not always the day before). They will also eventually be shared in Blackboard. Other resources, such as sample papers, are only available in Blackboard. The textbook for the class is online and free and linked from the syllabus.
How will you get in contact with me or share class information?
There is a class listserv that will be used to contact you with additional information about assignments, notices if class goes online, etc. Make sure to check your UNI email so you get those notices. I may also post them in Blackboard, but the default and first place they will show up is in email, so check there first.
What is the best way to reach you or the TA?
The best way to meet with me is to talk to me before class (after works too, but I have class in another building right after this, so it would have to be quick) or email me to set up a time to meet. We can meet over zoom or face-to-face, depending on your preference. You can also stop by my office hours, but you may have to wait if there is another student ahead of you.
You can email Lacie at [email protected] . You can also find her in her office during her office hour, Tuesday 1-2, Bartlett 2069.
Are there any opportunities for extra credit?
Yes! You can get up to 8 points of extra credit on your final exam by participating in research projects through the department’s SONA system and/or attending research-relevant talks (only those announced in class or via email will count). One hour of research or talk is equivalent to a maximum of 2 points, depending on the quality of the paper turned in. For both talks and research participation, to receive any credit, you must turn in a 1-2 page informal summary and analysis of the experience (i.e., relating it to class topics, critiquing it based on knowledge of research methods) within a week of participating. See further information on assignments for more information.
What if I’m having other issues I need help with?
I’m happy to help you with class or psychology (as a field, e.g., graduate school, research) questions. I can also help direct you to other places to get help, such as the UNI Counseling Center, The Learning Center @ Rod Library, or the Panther Pantry (food bank on campus).
Are there other things you or the university want me to know?
You can find more information on university policies related to free speech, nondiscrimination, accessibility, the learning center, and absences due to COVID-related health issues here .
