PSYC1100/1101 ONLINE LIBRARY SESSIONS FOR RESEARCH CREDITS

Welcome!

I offer three online instruction sessions for the Atlanta campus PSYC1100 & 1101 students to earn up to 3 research credits.

For Spring 2024, these sessions are being offered on these days:

Session 1: January 22 & January 29
Session 2: February 5 & February 12
Session 3: February 26 & March 12

Students should only register for ONE offering of each session.
Students must complete each session in order.

Please see the tabs on the right for details about each session and read all of the information on this page and on each of the SESSION pages before registering for any of these sessions.

Registration in SONA is required for each session.
These are not research studies. They are online self-paced instruction sessions with a simple quiz.
Once you are registered for the sessions, all communication will be through the SONA system. Please be aware that e-mail messages from automated systems sometimes get routed to your junk/spam/archive folders. Be diligent in checking those folders for messages from SONA.
