REGISTRATION FOR RDA IIB

Notice Regarding Registration for Research Design & Analysis IIB:

If you have registered for RDA IIB, or are considering doing so, please note the following:

1.     The course code for RDA IIB is PSYC2006. It is only offered on the full-time schedule in the B-slot.

2.     If you have achieved a mark of at least 60% for RDA IIA (either PSYC2005 or PSYC2012), you may register for RDA IIB. However, please note that the marks for RDA IIA were somewhat higher on average than they have been in previous years, and we would not recommend registering for RDA IIB unless you have achieved a mark of at least 65% for RDA IIA.

3.     There are no other requirements to register for RDA IIB, but students should bear in mind that the course is not compulsory for the major in Psychology and does not have to be taken as part of a degree with a major in Psychology. It is however recommended for those students who are seriously considering postgraduate studies in Psychology, and is extremely useful in terms of extending practical understanding of how to conduct research.

4.     Students who have not yet registered for RDA IIB and would like to do so now will need to collect an amendment of registration form from their Faculty, fill in the course code “PSYC2006” under “courses to be added”, bring this to the Department of Psychology for a signature of approval, and then return the form to Faculty. Students must follow up with Faculty to ensure their registration is changed accordingly within the week provided for amendments, i.e. all changes to registration must be finalised by Friday 20th July.

5.      Any student who is currently registered for PSYC2006 (RDA IIB) but who did not obtain a mark of 60% or more for RDA IIA must deregister from the course within the first week of the second semester i.e. by Friday 20th July. To de-register, students should collect an amendment of registration form from their Faculty, fill in the course code “PSYC2006” under “courses to be dropped”, bring this to the Department of Psychology for a signature of approval, and then return the form to Faculty. Students must follow up with Faculty to ensure their registration is changed accordingly within the week provided for amendments.

If you have any queries regarding the above information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,
