I know we have covered this before (sorry!), but a group of individuals in our dept. are thinking about creating a subject pool. We don't want it to be mandatory, but are thinking about making it for extra credit. We are having a few issues we are trying to clear up.
1. Multiple people teach Intro to Psych (and therefore, the average weight of each assignment can also vary). So, my class may have a total of 600 points and someone else's may have a total of 500 points. How do you deal with that?
2. How many experiments do students get a chance to do? Do you use a weighting system (based on length of time)?
3. Do you have a system in place to prevent a glut of students looking for extra credit experiments at the end of the semester?
4. What do you use as an alternative to the experiments?
5. Can students participate in more that just experiments. For example, we have a Masters in Clinical/Counseling and students in that program are required to take classes that train them to give Intelligence and Personality tests. Could Intro students be participants in this?
6. How do students sign up for experiments? How do you keep track of all of the points?
