|
You have the option to reduce the weight of your final exam from 40% to 35% by completing two hours of research participation with the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Behaviour. In addition to providing you with extra credit, the research participation option allows you to take part in some of the exciting research at McMaster, and to observe how some psychologists conduct their studies. The system that the department uses to track research participation is Experimetrix, which can be accessed at www.experimetrix.com/mac. The Experimetrix website allows experimenters and students to schedule experiments quickly and conveniently. Before you can begin using Experimetrix, you must create a student account. Register
To register for an experiment, select "Sign up for Experiments" from the main Experimetrix page. You will be presented with a list of currently available experiments, with a short description given about each. Before selecting an experiment, be sure to read the description carefully, making special note of any specific criteria for subjects (for example, some experiments only allow females to participate, while others may require subjects who speak a second language). When you have found an experiment that you would like to participate in, select "View Schedule" to view available timeslots, then select "Sign-Up" to register for a timeslot that fits your schedule. You will receive a confirmation email with the details of your selection. Be sure to write down the experimenter, location, and telephone extension from this email before leaving to complete an experiment. Additional Notes
