Alternative Research Papers Assignment (alternative to REP participation):
If you do not wish to take part in social science experiments by participating in the
Research Experience Program, you may satisfy this requirement by completing an alternative
assignment that your instructor creates for you. One example of such an assignment may be
writing six 2-page mini research papers but could, depending on your professors alternative
assignment, differ from this substantially. You MUST get approval from your professor if you
intend to do the alternative assignment. Deadline for Alternative REP approval is the
registration deadline for REP. Potential / Example Topics for mini-papers are listed below
but the actual alternative assignment may differ from this substantially check with your
instructor:
Paper 1: the history of experiments on human behavior
Paper 2: the basic methodology of social science experiments, and its pros and cons
Paper 3: comparison of the different kinds of social science experiments (ex: field
studies, vignette studies, survey studies, behavioral studies)
Paper 4: comparison of social science experiments with a different social science
methodology (ex: conducting surveys, participant observation)
Paper 5: the ethics of experimentation on human beings
Paper 6: case study of an experiment
Paper 7: critique an experiment
Paper 8: design your own experiment
If you are approved to do the alternative REP assignment instead of participating in

schedule prepared by your professor. Your professor will provide you with instructions
