Course Overview
At the core of any science is an understanding of basic statistics. It is through statistics that we report our findings and understand those of others. As such, this course is an introduction to the basic principles of experimental design and statistical analysis as employed in psychological research. Topics covered include data-gathering, descriptive statistics, hypothesis-testing, one- and two-sample experiments, correlational designs, and one- and two-way analysis of variance..

Supplemental Instruction
A Supplemental Instruction (SI) component is provided for all students who want to improve their understanding of the material taught in this course. SI sessions are led by a student who has already mastered the course material and has been trained to facilitate group sessions where students can meet to compare class notes, review and discuss important concepts, develop strategies for studying, and prepare for exams. Attendance at SI sessions is free and voluntary. Students may attend as many times as they choose. SI sessions begin by the second week of class and continue throughout the semester. Statistics from the university indicate that students who attend 6 or more sessions average an increase in their final grade by one grade or more. Session schedules will be announced in class. For information about SI, visit this website: http://www.umkc.edu/asm/si/index.shtml.
Your SI leader for this section of Psychology 381 is: Ali Hachem
