Participants should be familiar with windows-based SPSS, but absolutely no SAS knowledge is required.
Course performance will be evaluated through a final cumulative assignment relying on concepts illustrated and practiced in class.
Final grades for Psychology 930 will be determined by the completeness of the final exam, due August 20. Participants are welcome to submit early and receive feedback before the deadline in order to revise their assignment.
Policy on assigning incompletes:
A grade of “incomplete” will be assignment ONLY in the case of extenuating circumstances that prevent participants from completing course requirements in a timely manner. If an incomplete is assigned, all course requirements must be completed within ONE MONTH of the end of the course or the incomplete will turn into whatever grade has been earned at that point.
Policy on late final assignments:
Due to the condensed nature of the course, late final assignments will not be accepted.
As a reminder, the University has a policy on academic honesty (see the Graduate Studies Bulletin).
ALL COURSE ASSIGNMENTS SHOULD BE DONE INDIVIDUALLY.
Any student in this course who has a disability that may prevent him or her from fully demonstrating his or her abilities should contact me as soon as possible, so that we can discuss accommodations necessary to ensure full participation and facilitate your educational opportunity.
