1 00:00:00,776 --> 00:00:01,636 >> Hello and welcome. 2 00:00:02,026 --> 00:00:05,296 Thank you for viewing the SONA system tutorial intended for students. 3 00:00:05,906 --> 00:00:08,926 This tutorial will teach students four primary things. 4 00:00:09,466 --> 00:00:12,516 First, how to view research studies in the SONA system. 5 00:00:12,886 --> 00:00:15,796 Second, how to set up appointments in the SONA system. 6 00:00:16,156 --> 00:00:19,466 Third, how to communicate with researchers through the SONA system. 7 00:00:19,646 --> 00:00:22,556 And forth, how to cancel appointments in the SONA system. 8 00:00:23,536 --> 00:00:26,576 To view a study and set up appointments within the SONA system, 9 00:00:26,826 --> 00:00:28,736 log on to your SONA student account. 10 00:00:29,526 --> 00:00:33,396 Once logged in, click view available studies from your home page. 11 00:00:33,976 --> 00:00:37,046 Here, you will see a list of current studies that you can choose from. 12 00:00:37,846 --> 00:00:42,906 To set up an appointment, select the study you are interested in and click timeslots available. 13 00:00:43,426 --> 00:00:46,246 From here, click view timeslots for the study. 14 00:00:47,206 --> 00:00:52,006 Once the page loads, locate a timeslot which fits your availability and click sign up. 15 00:00:52,596 --> 00:00:56,586 SONA will ask you to confirm your appointment so be sure to click sign up again. 16 00:00:57,656 --> 00:01:01,916 After confirming your appointment, you will receive an automated e-mail notifying you 17 00:01:01,916 --> 00:01:03,406 of your appointment confirmation. 18 00:01:03,976 --> 00:01:07,566 Please make note of the date, time, location, 19 00:01:07,826 --> 00:01:10,246 and any special instructions regarding the study. 20 00:01:11,776 --> 00:01:15,796 When signing up for studies, keep in mind that if you do not cancel your appointment 21 00:01:15,796 --> 00:01:19,996 within 24 hours or if you do not show up to the designated study location, 22 00:01:20,416 --> 00:01:22,416 you will be marked as a no-show for the study. 23 00:01:23,046 --> 00:01:26,616 Penalties for unexcused absences are covered later in this presentation. 24 00:01:27,616 --> 00:01:29,676 Be sure to check the available studies frequently 25 00:01:29,676 --> 00:01:31,626 for updated timeslots from researchers. 26 00:01:32,416 --> 00:01:34,086 Once you have signed up for a study, 27 00:01:34,436 --> 00:01:36,906 you may find that you would like to contact a researcher. 28 00:01:37,856 --> 00:01:41,416 If you would like to ask a researcher about a particular research study, 29 00:01:41,706 --> 00:01:44,006 you can find the researcher's e-mail located 30 00:01:44,006 --> 00:01:46,436 under the study descriptions on the SONA website. 31 00:01:47,226 --> 00:01:51,856 If you have questions about how much one SONA credit translates to the extra credit assigned 32 00:01:51,856 --> 00:01:56,656 in your class, the researcher will likely be unable to accurately tell you this information 33 00:01:56,906 --> 00:01:58,526 so be sure to check your syllabus. 34 00:01:59,026 --> 00:02:01,486 If the information is not provided on your syllabus, 35 00:02:01,766 --> 00:02:03,976 reach out to your course instructor for more information. 36 00:02:04,046 --> 00:02:09,306 If you show up to a scheduled appointment and you find that the researcher is not present, 37 00:02:09,576 --> 00:02:11,556 double-check that you are at the correct location. 38 00:02:12,256 --> 00:02:15,266 Wait at least 15 minutes after your scheduled appointment time 39 00:02:15,266 --> 00:02:16,986 and the location assigned to your study. 40 00:02:17,746 --> 00:02:22,226 If you are at the correct location and waited 15 minutes past the appropriate appointment date 41 00:02:22,226 --> 00:02:25,796 and time, e-mail the researcher and notify them of your attendance 42 00:02:25,796 --> 00:02:27,646 to receive full credit for the study. 43 00:02:28,036 --> 00:02:32,976 Be sure to e-mail the researcher and submit this request for credit within 48 hours 44 00:02:32,976 --> 00:02:35,596 of the incident to ensure you receive full credit. 45 00:02:36,156 --> 00:02:39,516 After signing up for a study, you may run into a situation 46 00:02:39,516 --> 00:02:42,086 where you can no longer attend the scheduled appointment. 47 00:02:42,826 --> 00:02:45,026 Should you find the need to cancel your appointment, 48 00:02:45,346 --> 00:02:50,906 be sure to do so within the SONA system at least 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment. 49 00:02:51,936 --> 00:02:56,946 To cancel your study, go to your home page and click my schedule my credits. 50 00:02:57,566 --> 00:03:01,566 From here, a list of your scheduled study appointments will appear. 51 00:03:02,176 --> 00:03:05,496 Find the appointment you would like to withdraw from and click cancel. 52 00:03:06,436 --> 00:03:08,746 SONA will ask you to confirm your cancellation. 53 00:03:09,246 --> 00:03:10,666 Click yes to confirm. 54 00:03:12,386 --> 00:03:13,886 Once you have canceled your appointment, 55 00:03:14,336 --> 00:03:17,296 you will receive an automated e-mail confirming your cancellation. 56 00:03:17,946 --> 00:03:23,336 Keep in mind that failure to cancel a scheduled appointment without 24 hours notice will result 57 00:03:23,336 --> 00:03:25,786 in an unexcused, no-show absence. 58 00:03:26,736 --> 00:03:30,876 Unexcused absences will result to a 0.5 SONA credit penalty 59 00:03:31,026 --> 00:03:33,146 and an automatic lock on your SONA account. 60 00:03:33,736 --> 00:03:36,836 If you have been locked out of the SONA system, you will need permission 61 00:03:36,836 --> 00:03:39,566 from the SONA administrator to reactivate your account. 62 00:03:40,326 --> 00:03:44,016 After three official unexcused absences, your account will be locked 63 00:03:44,016 --> 00:03:45,606 out for the remainder of the semester. 64 00:03:46,366 --> 00:03:49,336 When canceling an appointment after the 24-hour deadline, 65 00:03:49,696 --> 00:03:52,446 you will be unable to do so within the SONA system. 66 00:03:53,016 --> 00:03:57,776 To officially cancel your appointment, you must e-mail the researcher as soon as possible. 67 00:03:58,396 --> 00:04:02,266 Researcher e-mails can be found under the study description on the SONA website. 68 00:04:03,126 --> 00:04:08,636 In your e-mail, provide your SONA ID, the date and time of your scheduled study appointment, 69 00:04:08,876 --> 00:04:10,666 and your justification for canceling. 70 00:04:11,386 --> 00:04:16,106 After sending the 24 hour cancellation notice, if you fail to attend your appointment, 71 00:04:16,106 --> 00:04:19,576 the researcher will mark your attendance as excused or unexcused. 72 00:04:20,456 --> 00:04:22,306 It is up to the researcher's discretion 73 00:04:22,306 --> 00:04:25,656 to make this decision once the 24-hour deadline has passed. 74 00:04:26,666 --> 00:04:30,966 This concludes the student study participation training in the SONA system. 75 00:04:31,726 --> 00:04:33,986 For any questions not answered by this video, 76
