Class #1: Why this class

Hi all, nice to meet you in class. Here’re some reasons to choose the Methods in Psychological Research course:

First of all, well, it’s required to complete your minor.

Second, you get to learn how psychologists do research. You will find the similarity between your major and psychology, but also some unique perspectives psychology holds.

Third, statistics and methods you will learn from this class can be used not only for your future research, but also for daily life – to make informed decisions. You will learn to critically evaluate the scientific findings. And next time when someone is trying to trick you with all the confusing numbers, you might be able to call “Bullshit!”.
