Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The general aim of the course is to provide information about basic concepts and methods of empirical research in psycholinguistics through some of the most important topics in the field. Students are expected to present research papers in the first part of the semester and present their own experimental plan based on the selected scientific readings in the second part of the semester, which they have to submit as a BA thesis.In the first part of the semester students will present empirical papers, then we will continue with a small-group discussion phase and end with a general discussion of the presented papers. In the second part of the semester students will learn about the scientific method and scientific writing through simple exercises. The course will end with students presenting their own experimental idea for the whole group.The course will require intensive preparation and active participation from the students in each block. Lack of preparation and participation in the discussions will lead to lower grades.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Students are required to read each empirical paper.
Each student should prepare a ppt presentation of one (or more) empirical paper(s) depending on the number of students. The aim of the presentation is to (1) summarize the paper and (2) present it in a concise but precise way to the class. Papers will be chosen by the students during the first class from a list of readings that I will provide. Each presentation must be sent to me by email during the week of presentation, until the end of Monday. Presentations that are not sent in time will receive lower grades.Each student is required to write a seminar paper at the end of the term. Topic: any of the main topics we will discuss in the first part of the semester. Format: experimental plan.Deadline to submit the topic of the experimental plan: 15th of December.On the 16th of January students will present their own experimental plans to the group. Required format: Background (previous research in the topic), Research questions and hypotheses, Planned methods (independent and dependent variables, planned sample size), Planned statistical analysis, Predicted results, Discussion of the predicted results.Deadline to submit the end-of-term essay/BA thesis: 15th of AprilLength of the paper: 25000-30000 characters. Evaluation criteria: integration of core readings, precise and concise style, originality of the experimental idea, quality of cited literature (review of topic-relevant literature and citations are mandatory).
