General Information: The exam will cover information presented on Canvas (e.g., assigned readings, instructor commentary, lectures, videos, activities, etc.) from Weeks 12 – 15 (Chapters 10 - 14). The exam will consist of 50 multiple-choice questions. You have 80 minutes to complete the exam. You may only submit your answers once. To submit your answers, press the SUBMIT button (it will appear at the bottom right after the last question) when you have completed the exam. Failure to submit your answers will lead to an automatic zero.

In order to give you time to study for the exam and to meet with me if you have any questions, the exam will be available Wednesday and Thursday (May 8 and May 9). You will be able to take it either day. You can only take the exam once. Once you begin the exam, you will have 80 minutes to complete it. It will be offered beginning at 9 am on Wednesday and ending at 11:59 pm CST on Thursday. You must complete the exam by 11:59 pm CST on Thursday (May 9). While you can take it anytime during those two days, I recommend taking it during business hours in case you run into tech problems so you can contact MU Division of IT by calling 573-882-5000 (or online at: https://doit.missouri.edu/tech-support/).

Academic Intergrity: You are to complete the exam on your own. The answers you provide must be your own answers.

Studying for the Exam: You will want to study for the exam. The best way to study for the exam is to make sure you know and understand the material presented in each learning module presented in Canvas and are able to apply the information to different scenarios. That is, you should make sure you read and take notes on all of the assigned readings, view and take notes on the lectures, watch and take notes on the videos, and engage fully in the learning activities. I would strongly suggest that you understand and can apply all of the information presented in the lecture slides. The best study guide I can give you are the lecture notes and readings.

Research suggests that you should study early and often. Research also suggests that you should also create your own study materials, make your own examples for concepts, test yourself often (e.g., create your own quiz/exam; keep doing the InQuizitive quizzes), and form/join a study group that stays on task.

Please remember that if you have any questions about the material, you may meet with me (either virtually or in person). I have official office hours on Tuesday from 11:10 – 12:40 pm CST in McAlester Hall 215. Please feel free to stop by and introduce yourself, talk Research Methods or something else psychology-related and/or to ask questions about the course material. You may also email me to schedule an appointment to meet on a different day and time that is convenient for both of us. Please keep in mind that I will not be able to answer any class material questions once the exam begins. Therefore, please make sure that you ask all of your questions by 5 pm on Tuesday (May 7) so I can respond to your questions prior to the beginning of the exam.
