COMPLETING EXPERIMENT PARTICIPATION AND/OR ARTICLE SUMMARIESAs a student in this course, you will have the opportunity to participate in current, cutting-edge researchtaking place in the UCLA Psychology Department. All students enrolled in Psych 10 are required to earn6 research credits by serving as participants in psychological research. Each study you participate in istypically worth one research credit. If it is worth more than one credit, this will be listed in the experimentdescription. For students who would prefer not to participate in research, you have the alternative ofwriting three summaries of articles from psychology journals (each summary is worth 2 research credits).You may also do a combination of both research participation and article summaries.Obtaining the 6 research credits is a requirement for the course. Please note that students whodo not complete this research requirement by the last day of instruction will receive a grade ofIncomplete ("I") in Psych 10. In order to remove the "I", the research requirement will have to be fulfilledthe following quarter or else the "I" will lapse into an "F" (or "NP"). Students who received an "I" in theprior quarter they took Psych 10 can apply any accumulated credit towards the six hours of experimentcredit needed to receive a grade for Psych 10. Students who DROP Psych 10 after having served as aresearch participant CANNOT apply any accumulated credit towards the next time they take thecourse. So please don’t leave yourself out in the cold by putting off all the participation until the end ofthe quarter… start early.How to participate in research. The posting and scheduling of experiments is handled via an onlinescheduling system. To access the system, go to http://experimetrix.com/ucla orhttps://experimetrix2.com/UCLA/ (a link to experimetrix is also vailable on the course site).

Please note that you must assign credits you receive to our "Psych 10"course in order for your credit to appear on your Credit Balance Report at the end of the quarter.Note that you must be registered with the Online Experiment Scheduling System before you canserve as a subject.If you have trouble registering on experimetrix please contact Janet Vera at jvera@psych.ucla.edu.Writing Journal Article SummariesAnother way that you may fulfill the research requirement for Psych 10 is by summarizing reports ofpsychological research. Completion of each article summary will give you two research credits. Thus,three article summaries will fulfill the six-credit research requirement. You may combine written articlesummaries with experiment participation. For example, you may choose to write one summary (for twocredits) and take part in four experiments (for four credits).How to write journal article summaries.1.
