Extra Credit: Experimetrix
 


If you choose to participate in psychology experiments for extra credit, you are strongly urged to do so well before the end of the semester. If you wait until the last 2 or 3 weeks of the semester, there is a good chance that you will not be able to find available experiments to sign up for.

  • If you have a JHU email address but prefer to use a different email address for notices and reminders, use your JHU address to register; you can specify a secondary email address to which notices and reminders are sent by editing your profile (see step 2 above).
  • If you do not have an email address that ends in "jhu.edu" (e.g., smith@jhu.edu or jones@jhunix.hcf.jhu.edu), then you will need to contact the Webmaster via the link on the webpage to register; send your name, the psychology course(s) in which you are enrolled, social security number and your email address. This is a security precaution to ensure that only JHU students can sign up for experiments.
