PSY 302 and 303 Tutoring

The Psychology Department is pleased to offer tutoring for PSY 302 Statistical Methods and PSY 303 Research Methods.

PSY 302 Tutoring

The Peer Statistics Tutors are UO students who have already completed Psychology 302 and are skilled with undergraduate-level statistics. They are familiar with using statistics programs such as JAMOVI, and can help you with course material by explaining confusing concepts or by walking you through homework problems. If you find yourself having trouble in PSY 302, just have some quick questions, or want more stats practice, stop by to work with one of our tutors.

Visit us in the Straub 237 Student Computer Lab every Mon-Thurs between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.! (Closed from 3:20 to 4 p.m. on Thursdays for weekly tutor staff meeting.)

PSY 303 Tutoring

303 Tutors are UO students who have already completed PSY 303, received at least an A- in the class, and are skilled at scientific writing. They are very familiar with the nuances of academic writing and APA style. PSY 303 tutors will not write your paper for you—they provide help by giving guidance on various tasks related to writing a scientific paper. This can include: how to do a lit review, structuring your paper, and connecting your ideas to your hypotheses. If you have questions or need some help, please stop by!

Contact PSY 303 tutors at psy303tutors@uoregon.edu. If you would like to meet with a 303 tutor, please sign up for a slot here.
