Being part of a large research university brings with it many
opportunities; one of which is to be a participant in ongoing
research being carried out by various departments on campus.
Each quarter there are many classes which offer extra-credit
points to students who choose to participate in research experiments
through the Human Subjects Pool.
If your class is offering extra credit for research participation
through our Human Subjects Lab, the following should be clearly
stated:
- Participating in research is a purely voluntary opportunity.
- For those who want to pursue extra credit points, but not
through research participation, there is an alternative
way of equal or less time and/or difficulty and which can
garner
the same possible number of points.
- There is a clear hour-to-points conversion factor so that
you know exactly how your participation hours/credits will
be converted to points in the classroom.
To find out more about participating in research and to sign-up for
experiments click on the following:
Experimetrix.
It is suggested that you sign up early in the quarter since
research studies do become less frequent as the quarter nears
it's end. You will receive a credit slip as you complete each
study, and you faculty members will receive a report of how
many hours you've completed at the end of the quarter.
