>> Hello, and welcome.

0:00:02.416,0:00:05.826
Thank you for viewing the SONA Systems[br]tutorial intended for students.

0:00:06.476,0:00:11.466
This section will demonstrate the processes of[br]creating a student account in the SONA System

0:00:11.796,0:00:14.366
and recovering the password[br]to a SONA student account.

0:00:15.066,0:00:22.256
To create a student account,[br]navigate to sfsu.sona-systems.com.

0:00:23.076,0:00:26.246

If you are still unable to log[br]in or retrieve your password,

0:01:06.566,0:01:12.626
contact the SONA administrator[br]at sonasfsu@gmail.com.

0:01:13.826,0:01:18.666
The following section will provide answers to[br]several common questions regarding SONA credits.

0:01:20.196,0:01:24.836
Based on department policy, all researchers[br]are required to follow this set of guidelines

0:01:24.836,0:01:26.746
for assigning SONA credits to their study.

0:01:27.706,0:01:32.446
SONA credits are assigned to students based[br]on three factors: time required for the study,

0:01:32.896,0:01:36.086
the location of the study, and the[br]number of sessions in the study.

0:01:36.086,0:01:39.036
We will provide details on each of these.

0:01:39.696,0:01:43.226
First, the time required to[br]complete the study means the amount

0:01:43.226,0:01:46.386
of time a student spends completing[br]the study should translate

0:01:46.386,0:01:48.556
to a certain number of SONA[br]credits being earned.

0:01:49.266,0:01:53.156
This results in 0.25 credits for[br]each 15 minutes of student time.

0:01:53.606,0:01:58.036
For example, a 15-minute study[br]would be worth 0.25 credits.

0:01:58.546,0:02:05.166
A 60-minute study would be worth 1 credit, and[br]a 70-minute study will be worth 1.25 credits.

0:02:05.806,0:02:09.356
Notice that researchers should always[br]round up when assigning credits.

0:02:10.106,0:02:12.946
Second, the location of the study means

0:02:13.116,0:02:15.986
where the student completes[br]the study should also translate

0:02:15.986,0:02:18.136
to a certain number of SONA[br]credits being earned.

0:02:19.016,0:02:22.506
This results in no additional[br]credits for studies completed online,

0:02:22.746,0:02:26.476
but 4.5 additional credits for[br]all studies completed in person.

0:02:26.696,0:02:33.156
For example, a 15-minute study done in person[br]would be worth 0.25 credits for the time

0:02:33.156,0:02:37.156
of the study with an additional 0.5[br]credits for being done in person,

0:02:37.646,0:02:40.306
resulting in a total of 0.75 credits.

0:02:41.066,0:02:45.876
A 60-minute study done in person would be[br]worth 1 credit for the time of the study

0:02:46.016,0:02:49.156
with an additional 0.5 credits[br]for being done in person,

0:02:49.626,0:02:52.566
resulting in a total of 1.5[br]credits being earned.

0:02:53.546,0:02:58.796
And a 70 minutes study done in person would be[br]worth 1.25 credits for the time of the study

0:02:58.956,0:03:05.516
with an additional 0.5 credits for being done[br]in person, resulting in a total of 1.75 credits.

0:03:06.036,0:03:09.586
Remember, researchers should always[br]round up when assigning credits.

0:03:10.606,0:03:15.176
Third, the number of sessions for the study[br]means how many times the student needs

0:03:15.176,0:03:19.756
to complete an action should also translate to[br]a certain number of SONA credits being earned.

0:03:20.616,0:03:24.336
This results in no additional credit for[br]studies completed in a single session,

0:03:24.626,0:03:28.876
but 4.5 additional credits for all[br]studies completed as subsequent sessions.

0:03:29.546,0:03:35.666
For example, a 15-minute study with two sessions[br]would be worth 0.25 credits for the time

0:03:35.666,0:03:38.946
of the study in the first session,[br]with an additional 0.5 credits

0:03:38.946,0:03:45.196
for the second 15-minute session, resulting in[br]a total of 0.75 credits for the second session.

0:03:45.816,0:03:50.536
A 60-minute study with three sessions would[br]be worth 1 credit for the time of the study

0:03:50.536,0:03:55.036
in the first session, with an additional 0.5[br]credits for the second and third sessions,

0:03:55.366,0:03:59.326
resulting in a total of 1.5[br]credits for the second session

0:03:59.596,0:04:01.696
and 1.5 credits for the third session.

0:04:03.036,0:04:06.696
It is important to keep in mind that[br]researchers have a specific timeframe

0:04:06.696,0:04:08.646
to collect data in the SONA System.

0:04:09.326,0:04:13.326
SONA opens the first week of instruction[br]during the fall and spring semesters.

0:04:13.906,0:04:17.356
The SONA System closes at 5[br]PM, Pacific Standard Time,

0:04:17.356,0:04:19.796
the final week day before final exams begin.

0:04:20.626,0:04:24.776
This means that you will only be able to[br]participate in studies after the first week

0:04:24.776,0:04:28.166
of instruction and before 5[br]PM, Pacific Standard Time,

0:04:28.256,0:04:30.586
the final week day before final exams begin.

0:04:31.506,0:04:33.446
By closing all studies before finals,

0:04:33.736,0:04:37.646
this ensures that all completed credits[br]will be awarded to students and listed

0:04:37.646,0:04:40.926
in the SONA System before instructors[br]calculate their final grades.

0:04:41.686,0:04:45.776
Note that some researchers or[br]instructors may also set earlier deadlines

0:04:45.776,0:04:47.866
in their courses for completing SONA credits.

0:04:48.686,0:04:51.806
This concludes the training on[br]student accounts in the SONA System.
