Erica,
We have researchers give student participants an extra credit "ticket" which
identifies the research project and which asks the participant several
simple questions about the project. These tickets are collected twice each
semester. One ticket; no double-dipping. Granted this is the procedure for
Intro only, but since we only allow extra credit in 100 and 200 level
courses, and since most participants are recruited from Intro, we don't
think we've had a double-dip problem.

Different kind of double dipping - if you give extra credit points for
participating in psych research, do you allow the student to use the same
experiment for extra credit in more than one class? Many psych majors
could have perhaps 3 psych classes in a semester - I don't think it's
reasonable to expect them to participate in 15 experiments. We don't even
have that many available. I wouldn't want to have extra credit points that
were not possible to achieve. In my class I do allow them to re-use the
extra credit, but I make it clear that other instructors may not feel the
same way and that they must check with the other instructors as well. Erica
