If you do not teach Introduction to Psychology/General
Psychology please disregard this request and I apologize for any cross-listing.
Last semester, I sent out an initial request for this
project. I just wanted to remind folks that there is still time to participate.
The last day for participation will be February 20
th and winners of
gift cards will be notified by February 24

Project Overview: As an instructor of Introduction to
Psychology/General Psychology, I frequently have students asking questions
regarding the material that I do not feel confident to answer because the
question is outside my area of expertise or the material is not sufficiently covered
in my textbook. Unfortunately, I often lack adequate time to thoroughly review
relevant literature and answer the question in a later class period. If you
have had similar experiences, you may be interested in a research project
(approved by the University of Wyoming IRB) that I will be conducting this
year.
To assist instructors of Introduction to Psychology/General
Psychology, I am compiling a list of frequently asked student questions. After
I identify a list of frequently asked student questions, I will develop brief
literature reviews to answer these questions (answers will be edited by experts
in the area), and eventually this resource will be made available to teachers.
If you would like to help in this endeavor, please go to the
following link https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/LNT533M
and complete the short survey (16 questions). You can also enter into a drawing
for one of three gift cards (one $100 and two $50) to an online store (e.g.,
Amazon.com, itunes).
Thank you for your time, and please contact me if you have
any questions.
