Experimental Psychology

Student chooses one study conducted using one of the types of experimental designs and analyzes the following features of the experimental study: study design methodology; study questions/hypotheses; ethical aspects of the study; the scientific strength of the study and its risks and threats, as well as approaches to prevention/mitigation of risks and threats; results of the study.

Rating criteria:

10 - with distinction. Describes each characteristic using scientific language, precise terminology, scientific sources. Demonstrates with distinction analytical capabilities (comparing, referencing different sources, etc.).

9 - excellent. A description of each characteristic is given using scientific language, appropriate terminology, scientific sources. Demonstrate analytical capabilities (compare, refer to different sources, etc.), but there are one, two inaccuracies.

8 - very good. A description of each characteristic is given using scientific language, generally precise terminology, scientific sources. Demonstrate analytical capabilities (compare, refer to different sources, etc.), but there are several inaccuracies.

7 - OK. A description of almost all features is given using semi-precise terminology, mostly scientific sources. Displays analytical capabilities (compares, references to different sources, etc.), but there are several inaccuracies.

6 - almost good. Some features are characterized, some precise terminology, some sources scientific. Partly demonstrates the ability to analyse the study, but there are several inaccuracies.

5 - satisfactory. Some characteristics are characterised by the use of semi-precise terminology, and some sources are scientific.

4 - almost satisfactory. Some characteristics are characterised by inaccurate terminology.

3 - weak. The task has not been performed in accordance with the requirements. There is no appropriate terminology.

2 - very weak. The task has not been performed in accordance with the requirements.

1 - very, very weak.

Rating criteria:

10 - with distinction. Meets the requirements of the task. Precise terminology, scientific style. Understanding methodology. Independently plans a research project demonstrating acquired skills and competences at a high level. The project is feasible and can make a significant contribution.

9 - excellent. Meets the requirements of the task. Precise terminology, scientific style. Understanding methodology. Independently plans a research project demonstrating acquired skills and competences at a high level. The project is feasible with one, two minor adjustments.

8 - very good. Meets the requirements of the task. Precise terminology, scientific style. Understanding methodology. Independently plans a research project demonstrating acquired skills and competences at a good level. The project is subject to some adjustments.

7 - OK. Generally meets the requirements of the task. Terminology generally compliant. The planned research project shall demonstrate the skills and competences acquired at an acceptable level. The project is subject to several adjustments and additions.

6 - almost good. Generally meets the requirements of the task. Terminology is predominantly appropriate. The skills and competences acquired should be improved. The project is subject to several adjustments and additions.

5 - satisfactory. Partially meets the requirements of the task. Terminology partially compliant. The skills and competences acquired need to be improved. The project is subject to a number of significant adjustments and additions.
