Welcome to the PSY 290 Research Methods Lab!

Just as a reminder, I am your instructor,

Victoria (Woner) Bernaud,

and I am making this video just to get you

guys familiar with our Canvas site.

I will show you a couple things that

we have already implemented in the course,

where you'll find your assignments and readings,

and other things like that, so that

we are all ready to go.

So, first thing I wanted to show you is

this Home page -- its got some information

about the course, as well as some information

about me, and a little background with the

Welcome video. If we scroll over here,

we can see under Announcements

I will be posting announcements for you guys,

including a Welcome announcement

in the coming week. I'll also be posting

reminders for things like assignments and

other due dates and communicate

to you guys that way.

Now, if we click on Syllabus, you can

take a look at our course syllabus.

Its got all kinds of information in here --

I'll be going over this a little bit on

the first day of class, but please do familiarize

yourself with the syllabus, because

you will be completing a Syllabus Quiz

as one of your first assignments for the class.

And so you can see here, Ive got some

information on Grading, Academic Integrity --

thats really important -- and then also our

Course Schedule, so you guys can plan out

what the course is going to be like

with each class period.

Now, if we move over to Modules,

you'll see some introductory material;

this "Lets Get Started" at the top

has got some helpful information for you

about the course in general, and then

some tools you can use if you're having

any issues, or you want tutoring

in related areas to the course.

I thought I'd also show you that we have a

Q&A page here, where you can take a look

at questions that maybe other students have,

and help address questions

over the course of our class.

And then also, theres an "Introductions"

discussion board. So, we wont be able

to meet each other in-person, but hopefully

you guys can post some introductions

and get to know each other this way.

Because, in lab, you're going to be

interacting with each other a lot

in group assignments and group projects.

Now, for the first week,

I have some information posted

for you guys -- some things might change

a little bit -- but the first week

is pretty set and ready for you,

including your assignments.

So, you're going to have

an Academic Integrity Agreement,

the Syllabus Quiz, and then you can

get started on your CITI training.

You guys can take a look at the Syllabus

for more information on that,

and of course, I'll introduce it to you

as all of these assignments are due.

So, this spot right here, "Modules",

is going to be where you find

things like your assignments,

any readings that I'd like for you to do,

your learning objectives, any handouts,

Powerpoints... all of that is going to be

made available to you through "Modules".

So, finally, we have "Grades".

You can look at your grade here,

you can see on all of the

different assignments we have so far

what your grade will be

for each of these assignments.

So, keep an eye out for that --

please check your grades regularly,

to make sure that they reflect

the grade that you understood you got

on the assignments.

Keep tabs on that,

just to kind of "check-in"

on how you're doing throughout the course.

So, I look forward to meeting with you all soon.

Our first class, just as a reminder,

is Monday, the 25th of January.

Looking forward to meeting with you all soon

and looking forward to a great semester!
