Articles
The following articles may be used to substitute for experiment
participation. Read the article and write a 1-2 page summary of it (we
love short summaries!). Each article summary counts for 1 hour of
experiment participation. For COGS 101c you are required to do 2 hours of
experiments and are permitted
to do 2 additional hours for extra credit. You may combine article
summaries and experiment participation as desired. For example, you
could participate in a 1-hour experiment and write 3 summaries and that
would both fulfill the requirement and get you a total of 2% points of
extra credit.
