SONA Information (Faculty)
As mentioned in the December department meeting, the Psychology Department will transition to the SONA research management system this Winter. This means that students will no longer sign up for studies via the bulletin board. Additionally, since SONA records the amount of extra credit participants earn, student participants will be turning in fewer credit slips to their professors, and professors will instead be receiving credit documentation from the SONA administrator.
IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT INSTRUCTORS AND RESEARCHERS/PIs REQUEST SONA ACCOUNTS. Please read and follow the instructions below.
If you are an instructor who offers research extra credit in your course(s), you must request a SONA instructor's account. This way, student participants can tell SONA to apply the extra credit they've earned to your course. I strongly encourage you to request an instructor's account early, so that students can begin earning and applying extra credit to your course. To request an instructor's account, send the following information to Kristy Dean (kdean@csusb.edu):
- Your name
- The type of account you are requesting (instructor, researcher, or PI)
- Your CSUSB email address
- An alternative email address (optional)
- The name and number, including section, of your course (e.g., PSYC382 (sec. 2), Introduction to Social Behavior)
If you are a student researcher, you must request a researcher account. If you are a faculty researcher (e.g., PI), you must request a PI account. To request one of these account, send the following information to Kristy Dean (kdean@csusb.edu):
- Your name
- The type of account you are requesting (instructor, researcher, or PI)
- Your CSUSB email address
- An alternative email address (optional)
PLEASE NOTE: If you are a faculty member that is teaching a course offering research extra credit AND conducting human subjects research, you will need to request TWO DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS...a instructor's account and a PI account.
