Research Methods Workshops

• Instructor: Danielle Navarro
• Course detail: UNSW masters psychology (clinical & forensic)
• Course dates: Term 1-3, 2021

For the most part course materials take the form of slides, pre-recorded YouTube videos, and some exercises that students can undertake at your own pace. Every Monday, from 10am to 2pm, I will be running “office hours” in which you can arrange drop in on campus for a face to face meeting (subject to whatever covid rules are in effect at the time), or chat with me on slack. I’ve found that this structure works a little better than trying to run lectures in zoom! The assessment is based around short exercises, one associated with each workshop

The original plan…

The original play, before we realised the 2021 class would be so small was roughly as follows.

• Organising and structuring a project (Danielle Navarro)
• Documenting and archiving a project (Danielle Navarro)
• Thinking critically about scientific papers (Danielle Navarro)
• Statistics without SPSS, part 1 (Danielle Navarro)
• Statistics without SPSS, part 2 (Danielle Navarro)
• Signal detection theory (James Dunn)
• Introduction to meta-analysis (TBA)
• Writing literature reviews (TBA)

I’ve left this up as a tentative guide for discussion in 2022, but for the purposes of the 2021 class, check the course materials page! 😄
