Overview
Participating in real research studies is a valuable way to learn about and experience some of the concepts that we are learning about in class. This assignment is worth 10 points (5 points for the sona credits and 5 points for the questions).
This is the second of two SONA Research Participation Assignments that you will complete this semester. You will complete 2 SONA credits for this assignment.
For this assignment, you will need to participate in at least 2 SONA credits (2.5 course points per 1 SONA credit). In addition, you will get 5 points for answering the question in step 2 (below). If you participate in two SONA studies (each worth one SONA credit), you may choose one of them to write about below.
Note: you can get extra credit for participating in more than the 4 required SONA credits! If you do more than the 4 required credits at the end of the semester (2 for this assignment and 2 for your second required assignment), you'll get extra credit for them at the end of the semester (up to 10 points for an additional 4 SONA credits---2.5 extra credit points per additional SONA credit). this means that you can have up to 8 total credits earned for this course (4 for the required assignments and 4 for extra credit).
Warning: If you already completed 2 credits earlier in the semester for your required assignment and you received credit for them, these credits still need to be reflected and assigned to this course on SONA at the end of the semester. For example, if you completed and received credit for 2 SONA credits from part I earlier this semester, and you completed 2 SONA credits for this assignment, I will need to see all 4 credits you completed for the course on SONA at the end of the semester. In other words, you cannot reassign these credits to another course once you have earned course credit for them here. I will be checking at the end of the semester and will remove your course credit from the gradebook if all credits are not still assigned to this course at the end of the semester. In other words, you cannot receive credit in more than one class for the same SONA credit.
Step 1: Login to SONA (FIU Sona Site ) to find the studies available. Sign up to participate in at least two SONA credits (if you do more, they can count toward your second sona assignment or they can count toward extra credit). When you sign up, make sure that you choose this course with this instructor as the course you are participating for, and that you have the correct section of the course. Otherwise, we will have no way of knowing that you completed the study.
Step 2: Reflect about your experiences in the study by answering the following questions. Please refrain from sharing your experiences with other students, especially those who have not yet participated, as this could contribute to research bias. Do not email the researchers of the studies you participate in about these questions. You need to answer them on your own to the best of your ability.
- Do you think the study you participated in met ethical standards for research? Explain why or why not. (2 point).
- Tell us about your experiences with participating in sona this semester. What did you like most? What did you like least? Explain your answer. (3 points)
- I did the first one im the last paper pls use the other 4
