Earn research
credit by attending psychology colloquia!
In addition to participating in experiments, students can also
earn credit by attending a one-hour psychology colloquium. These are held on
periodic Mondays, at 4 pm, Brown Hall Room 118
Please read the following guidelines for information as to how to
receive credit.
1.
Go the subject pool website and search for Experiment 100. Sign up for this study just as you would any
other study. Show up on time (i.e.
no later than 4 pm, sharp) at the McDonnell 162, through the BACK ENTRANCE
(upper level). If you do not arrive by 4 pm you will not receive credit. Look for a sign up sheet posted in the back
of the room (typically, on one of the chairs in the back room. If you do not sign in prior to the beginning
of the talk you will not receive credit.
2.
You are required to stay for the entire presentation, which will end at 5 pm.
3.
Attendance works exactly like participating in a research experiment. For example, if you have 6 research credits
to fulfill, you can elect to use any combination you wish (e.g. do 4
experiments, attend 2 colloquia, etc).
Also, because space is at a premium, please be considerate to your
fellow students. Do not sign up unless
you are sure you can attend and show up on time; the usual rules apply to
no-shows. Thank you!
