Intro to Research in Psychology
Jan. 3 – 14, 2022 | Monday-Friday, 4-5:45 p.m.
We see claims about psychological studies all over the news and social media, but how do we know what to believe? During this course you will have first-hand experience in interpreting, designing and running your very own psychological experiments.
