This is the web site to support Psychology 120 -- Advanced Research Methods and (Experimental) Design at San José State University.

We'll use the site to record our discussions and experiences.

The course syllabus is here.

I wrote a textbook -- acutally, it's more like a manual -- specifically for this course. It's called Hands-on Research Methods.

Most of the material from the textbook is on this web site in the most up-to-date version: there's a discussion group (under Tasks) for each Task or chapter of the text. So, you don't have to download any of the chapters: you can just read them on line.
