Final Reflection

PNB 3EE3; Fink

Your final reflection is a moment to pause and think about all that you have learned throughout the semester and to consider how it might affect your future.

For each of the bullet points below, please write responses of at least 4 sentences. Feel free to create longer responses. As always, be sure to be clear and concise; these should not be “stream of consciousness” responses. Iterating and editing always make writing stronger.

Questions to address

  • How has your understanding of perception changed from day 1 of class?

  • How has your idea of what research is changed from day 1 of class?

  • What research skills have you most developed during the course? What skills would you most like to develop in the future?

  • What aspects of the pre-registration process did you find most difficult? Why? What apects of the pre-registration process do you find most important? Why? Do you think researchers should be required to pre-register their research? Why or why not? (there is no right answer here!)

  • How does your experience designing and programming an experiment inform how you understand the research articles you read?

  • Are there any aspects of the course you would recommend the instructors change? How can we make the course better for future students? What aspects of the course should stay the same? Why?
