06/02/15: Web exercises #1 - 6 have been posted.
05/18/15: Welcome to this class. Web exercises will be posted in the near future.
A Note from Prof. John: In this large class, we do not have much time or opportunity to have hands-on experiences during our regular class hours, such as the TAT picture-story test. Over the past 10 years, we have therefore developed a series of web exercises, 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 will remain confidential. When you submit your responses, your completion of the exercise will be automatically recorded under your SID number, and you’ll know it’s been recorded because you’ll receive further information or feedback right then. Make sure to save or print out the feedback page for your use in class (e.g., some of the material will be on the exams) and also as back-up proof of completion. Finally, your responses will not be graded; it's the learning experience that counts!
IMPORTANT: Be sure to set aside at least one hour for each exercise. You need enough time to complete each exercise in one sitting, beWhen you complete an exercise, print out the feedback page for your use in class and also as proof of completion cause you will not be able to save and resume a partially completed exercise. That is, don’t quit an exercise before it is completed because you’ll lose all your work so far!
DUE DATE: You should complete each exercise during the week for which it is assigned (i.e., by Friday at the latest), as exercises will be removed after the deadline has passed.
