Class Exercises

You should complete each exercise before the lecture for which it is assigned, as exercises may be removed after their assigned deadline has passed. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete each exercise in one sitting, because you will not be able to save and resume a partially completed exercise.

 

A Note from Prof. John: These exercises are designed for you to experience and learn about research and measurement procedures in personality psychology. There are no true or false answers, and you will never be asked to give your name. In other words, what you say and report in these exercise will remain confidential. When you submit your responses, your completion of the exercise will be automatically recorded under your SID number. Your responses will not be graded; it's participation that counts! 

IMPORTANT: When you complete an exercise, print out the feedback page for your use in class and also as proof of completion.
