OToPS/Teaching resources

(Redirected from OToPS teaching resources)

Purpose of this Page edit

This page is intended to help those who are teaching research based courses find resources to use in their course. This page consists of PowerPoints, videos, templates, web links and more to help instructors compile resources for their students in research based classes. The example syllabus below includes the resources and links to aid in teaching a research based course. The example syllabus is from a psychology course, so the intended focus is on psychological research.

Example Syllabus with links edit

This is an example syllabus for a course that teaches psychological research. In this syllabus you will find topics that are covered each class period, along with recommended readings/videos, and assignments. Links are embedded to different resources and videos including information about using R and Zotero.

Keep working on abstracts;
  • upload at least these things to your  OSF
    • Copy of your code
    • Copy of your abstract
    • Copy of your poster (time to pick a template!)

Note that none of the above are “final” – this is making sure that all are started, and that you can upload!
