PSYC 100 students who elect not to enter the Psychology Department's subject pool for research studies are required to complete an alternative assignment for this course.
The alternative assignment asks you to locate 3 scholarly journal articles published within the last 6 months and write a 2-3 page report about each of them, reflecting on specific questions about the research conducted.
