Psychology 418:
Introduction to research and statistics
Fall 1999-TTH 2:00-3:30pm
Class Web Site
Welcome to the PSY 418 Web Site. We will be using this page throughout the
semester to provide you with information about the lectures and labs for
418. You might want to bookmark this page.
Check the Web Site out periodically for updates. During the semester,
we will be using this page to provide answers to questions that seem to be
coming up frequently and to provide the latest information about assignments.
The current syllabus is available here. The
syllabus also has links that allow you to download PowerPoint versions
of the lectures. The lecture notes can be helpful if used
properly. I
strongly recommend that you download them and look them over before class to
get a sense of where we'll be going. It might also be helpful to print them
out and bring your own copies to class to take notes on them. Beware of
abuse of the lecture notes, however. There is a temptation to download
the lecture notes and then use them as a substitute for class. In my
experience, the notes are not a good substitute for class. People who have
adopted this strategy in the past appear to average about a full grade lower
than people who come to class regularly. Anyhow, enough said.
Email
The fastest way to reach us is by email. If you have any questions, please
direct them either to Prof. Markman or to your TA. Please don't be afraid of
Prof. Markman. He gets very lonely during his office hours. Be sure to
visit him and to send him lots of email.

The question corner
My third grade teacher used to stand at the front of the room and ask for
questions on a topic. When nobody raised their hand, she would tell people
that if they had a question, chances are that a few other people in the class
had the same question. Well, I haven't done empirical studies to see whether
that is true, but assuming that third grade teachers can't be wrong, if
people ask particularly interesting questions via email, we'll post a
summary of the question and answer on this website. We'll take off the name
of the person asking the question and replace it with the name of a famous
Psychologist.
Send us a question.
In order to make it as easy as possible to let us know what's on your
mind, we have created a handy form to fill out to ask your questions. To go to this form, click here. Don't forget to include your email
address so that we can reply. Don't be surprised to see your question
appear in the Question Corner some time soon.
