<div class="IPBDescription">if so did you take this one course?</div> I'm taking this course called PY-320, or Exoerimental Psych.

Basically they teach us how to write an APA style paper, and teach us how to do research for that paper. Its a 4 credit course so its got a lab and a ton of work.

I was just wondering if anyone else was going through the same thing as me, but I don't know how many psych majors there are out there.

If you already took it, can I get some pointers?


Thanks,

    Since you haven’t gotten any replies, I thought I’d offer up my brother ‘n’ law. He recently got his Psy.D (like a Ph.D. in psychology)… and I am sure he’d love to answer any questions or give you whatever advice he has to give.

    If you’re interested let me know and I can get you his email.

    meh, not a psych major my self (was gona be one) but the son of 2 of em (and one of em now teaches psych).

    If you have any specific (or sorta general) questions, post em up and I will see what I can do.


    Just remember, ALOT of psychology is common sense, it is just that common sense is none to common.

    Also what field of research are you working on/interested in?

    Please lets keep this non NS related.

    I was looking either to become a counselor, or maybe a teacher. I'm not sure.
