Researchers
The School of Communication is now using the Research Participation System to schedule and credit students’ participation in communication research studies. As a researcher, you can set up your studies in the system, schedule the sessions (lifetimes and location) when students may participate in your study, and grant or revoke credit after students complete your study. The Research Participation System provides students with an easy online method for them to sign up for research studies, to keep track of the studies they have completed, and to view how many credits they have earned for each study. Information included in many course syllabi recruits students to consider participating in studies using the Research Participation System.
