If you choose to obtain research credits by reading and writing about specific articles instead of participating in experiments, here are your instructions:
For each article you are interested in, choose its link below to obtain a pdf of the article. Read the article and write a critique of it (i.e., summarizing the point of the article, including any opinions you have about what it says). Each critique should be approximately 1 and a half to 2 pages, double-spaced. Each critique is worth 1 credit point.
Print all of your critiques, and take them to the teaching assistant for your section of Psychology 110. Do this BEFORE YOUR FINAL EXAM. Ask your TA if he or she would rather receive them all at once or one at a time.
