I feel sad when I try to do my work in class, and then I figure out all I've TRIED is a D or F. Seriously. I'm hanging on some ****ing D's that'll most likely be F's in the first marking period's report cards.
Psychology? HAH! I can't even understand a ****ing webquest!
Step 2. Write a one page paper in which you contrast "the experiment" with other methods of primary research used in Psychology. The cryptic "other methods" are "survey questionnaire", "naturalistic observation", "case study", and "correlational research."
WTF IS A CORRELATIONAL RESEARCH?! WTF does it do? Honestly. I have no ****ing remembrance of these terms or even wtf they do. I just can't seem to remember the 1001 terms we have just learned in the first three chapters. This is too much. I can't understand, remember, or even think about this shit since I get un-interested and I just want to ****ing bash my head until its nothing more.
Become familiar with the ethical issues in experiments by reviewing the ethical standards in the APA ethics code
American Psychological Association ethics page (especially section 6)
