    In this course, students will survey various psychological research methods with an emphasis on research design, experimental procedures, descriptive methods, instrumentation, and the collection, analysis, interpretation, and reporting of research data. Students will also examine research design and methodology through an anti-discriminatory and anti-racist lens, including: a review of research in a variety of the subdisciplines of psychology; applications in classroom experiments, surveys, and systematic and naturalistic observations; and explore the lived experiences of California Community College students.
