Course/Module description:
First year students are required to participate in 10 hours of experiments. Specifically, one needs to accumulate 40 points of participation credits in experiments. Each point is equivalent to a quarter hour of participation in an experiment. Continuing onto the second year is conditional upon fulfilling this requirement, and therefore, it is important to make sure to complete all of the required participation in experiments before the end of the first year.

It is possible to participate in experiments that are offered through frameworks in other majors (like business or education) up to one hour maximum. That is, 9 out of 10 hours of participation in experiments must be in the framework of experiments that are being conducted in the Department of Psychology.

Students who choose to take the course "Social Processes” during their first year must complete their participation in experiments during the first semester.

Students who are required to participate in experiments in their other major will be required to participate in additional experiments in the framework of the Department of Psychology. In this case, the Department of Psychology requires participation in 8 hours of experiments (in other words, these students should accumulate 32 points of credit in the psychology framework in addition to the points required of them from their second major).
