The module co-ordinator will be Dr Marie Juanchich, to whom queries should be addressed.
This module provides an introduction to research design and methodology. Students will be introduced to the basic principles of research design, and to a variety of experimental and correlational techniques for studying behaviour. Appropriate techniques of statistical analysis will be applied to data collected from experiments. Students will learn how to write laboratory reports for the research they carry out, and these will form part of the assessment.
Assessment of PS114 will be based upon coursework (60%), and an end-of-year exam (40%).
Examinations will address material from the textbook, the lectures and laboratory classes.
A minimum overall average mark of 40% is required to pass this module. You can expect to be asked to resit the examination in September or to complete additional coursework over the summer if your module average is below 40%.
