Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course aims to train students at proficiently performing the steps necessary to conduct an empirical study in psychology when starting from nothing but a designated topic (topics will be assigned by the lecturer – see below). This is a 2-semester course program. Attendance to summer semester 2024 course is not mandatory but strongly recommended. This first semester aims to prepare the students to conduct an online experiment or a survey for their bachelor project in summer semester 2024.
