Getting Started
Information for Psychology Dept. and Linguistics Dept. Instructors
As part of an effort to support the Psychology Department’s Human Subject Pool for ongoing faculty and graduate research studies, you may offer extra credit to the undergraduate students in your classes. If you are interested, you will have the opportunity to fill out a short google form that is sent out to faculty just before the start of every quarter. Students will earn one half credit (0.5) for each half hour of experiment participation through Sona.
Course Credit Reports
If you are an instructor who is currently offering extra credit through SONA, your credit report excel spreadsheet will be sent by the Wednesday of Finals Week.
When students create an account on the Sona, they must indicate which course(s) they’d like to assign their credits too. If you see any names listed on this spreadsheet that do not match your roster, you can ignore them.
If students in your course indicate that they completed experiment hours but they’re not on this list, that is because they made the error in not listing your course as the one they’d like to assign their credits to. It is each student’s responsibility to make sure they have assigned their credits to the correct course.
