    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    True or False: It is ok to miss lab hours or come in late (without prior approval) as long as you don’t have an experiment scheduled.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    There are many other important lab activities that require your help, including preparing lab materials, ensuring a professional work environment (tidying up), and checking/entering data.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What should you do if you cannot make it to a lab session?

    • Try to get it covered as soon as you know/at least 48 hours in advance, let all grad students/professors in charge of your study know, and let all grad students/professors know if it hasn't been covered at least 24 hours before the scheduled study time. And do not stop trying. Do not just send an email and wait for others to respond. Actively search out and seek replacements.

    • Try to get it covered when you get around to it, don’t let anybody know, and at the last minute shoot off an email to a graduate assistant letting them know you’ll have to cancel the upcoming session.

    • Try to get it covered, but don’t really email or call anybody, act like you made an effort, and then pretend that you couldn’t get a replacement, even though you didn’t really try.

    • Ask Laura or Yueran if they can cover for you.

    Correct Answer
    A. Try to get it covered as soon as you know/at least 48 hours in advance, let all grad students/professors in charge of your study know, and let all grad students/professors know if it hasn't been covered at least 24 hours before the scheduled study time. And do not stop trying. Do not just send an email and wait for others to respond. Actively search out and seek replacements.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    How many hours, on average, do I need to work every week to get an A? 

    • 7 hours

    • 9 hours

    • 20 hours

    • 1 hour

    Correct Answer
    A. 9 hours
    Explanation
    To achieve an A grade, the average amount of hours required to work every week is 9 hours. This suggests that a significant amount of effort and dedication is needed to excel in the subject or task at hand. Working for 9 hours per week indicates a commitment to studying, practicing, and completing assignments in order to meet the high standards necessary for an A grade.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    True or False: If I miss a session and find a substitute, I don’t have to make up those lab hours.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    This statement is false. If someone misses a session and finds a substitute, they still have to make up those lab hours. Finding a substitute does not exempt them from fulfilling the required hours.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    True or False: If I leave 218 I should always lock the door.

    • True

    • False

    What important training does Iowa State University’s Institutional Review Board require of all individuals engaged in research that involves human subjects? 

    • Human Subjects Training

    • Research Response School

    • Physical Education Research

    • Trowel and Shovel Placement Testing

    • Etiquette and Sexual Harassment Training

    Correct Answer
    A. Human Subjects Training
    Explanation
    Etiquette and sexual harassment are important things to be aware of too, but psychology labs are very concerned with the ethical treatment of human subjects.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    Once you complete the training mentioned in #15 (Human Subjects Training), what should you do to let the lab know you are eligible to be a research assistant?

    • Tell a graduate student in passing that you did the online thing

    • Email a pdf of the completion certificate to all graduate students

    • Absolutely nothing, and hope nobody asks

    • Email a graduate student, but don’t attach the pdf

    • Fax the lab the appropriate forms

    Correct Answer
    A. Email a pdf of the completion certificate to all graduate students
    Explanation
    Our lab is required to present a pdf of your completion of Human Subjects Training to the ISU's Institutional Review Board.

    Rate this question:

  • 11. 

    True or False: I can work in the lab even if I haven’t done the training mentioned in #15 (Human Subjects Training).

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The correct answer is False because it is not possible to work in the lab without completing the required training mentioned in #15, which is the Human Subjects Training. This training is likely necessary to ensure the safety and ethical treatment of human subjects involved in the lab work. Therefore, it is important to complete the training before being allowed to work in the lab.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    True or False: Missing several experiments will not hurt my grade as long as I gave Dr. Guyll, Dr. Madon, and the grad student in charge of the study a few hours notice.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Two things make this false. First, it is not acceptable to miss several experiments. Second, last minute notifications of absence put undue strain on the lab and its schedule.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

     Whose job is it to make hard copies if we are out of materials?

    • Laura Smalarz

    • The graduate assistants

    • Dr. Guyll

    • The first person who notices…this means YOU!

    Correct Answer
    A. The first person who notices…this means YOU!
    Explanation
    Please be proactive.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Who must be notified if you cannot make your schedule lab hours?

    • Dr. Madon

    • Dr. Guyll

    • Yueran

    • Laura

    • Kyle

    • Dan

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the above must be notified if you cannot make your scheduled lab hours. This implies that all the mentioned individuals, including Dr. Madon, Dr. Guyll, Yueran, Laura, Kyle, and Dan, need to be informed in case of any unavailability for the lab hours.

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    True or False: Anybody who misses an experiment without prior approval from Dr. Madon, Dr. Guyll, or the grad student in charge of the study will get a lower grade than they would have otherwise.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement implies that missing an experiment without prior approval from the specified individuals will result in a lower grade. Therefore, the answer is true.

    Rate this question:

  • 16. 

    True or False: If I miss several experiments during the semester because I was not feeling well, it will not hurt my grade as long as I called in sick.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Although we are sympathetic to illnesses, because such a major portion of the lab grade is due to attendance, missing several sessions will affect final grade.

    Rate this question:

  • 17. 

    What lab rooms are ours?

    Explanation
    All lab rooms are in the Science I building. FYI: Men's bathrooms are located on the 1st and 3rd floors. Women's bathrooms are located on the basement and 2nd floors. People on the 4th floor don't go to the bathroom.

    Rate this question:

  • 18. 

    What should you do after getting a key out of one of the “lock boxes”?

    • Congratulate yourself on completing a complex task involving a memory-thought-action repertoire.

    • Replace the key and shut the lockbox door.

    • Replace the key, shut the lockbox door, and move the code numbers a little so that the next person won’t have to move them much to open the lockbox

    • Replace the key, shut the lockbox door, and scramble the code very, very well.

    Correct Answer
    A. Replace the key, shut the lockbox door, and scramble the code very, very well.
    Explanation
    After getting the key out of one of the "lock boxes," the appropriate action is to replace the key, shut the lockbox door, and scramble the code very, very well. This ensures that the lockbox remains secure and prevents unauthorized access. By scrambling the code, it becomes difficult for the next person to open the lockbox without significant effort. This action maintains the integrity of the lockbox and ensures its contents are protected.

    • 5 minutes

    Correct Answer
    A. 15 minutes
    Explanation
    According to SONA guidelines we technically only have to wait 10 minutes, but because people's watches may differ and because collecting data is so important we extend the courtesy to 15 minutes.

    Rate this question:
