Psychology of Human Rights

This was my first seminar course designed in graduate school, and I brought it with me to W&J. The goal was an interdisciplinary course in which we applied psychological research to small pieces of literature and media about human rights. Students wrote a research paper examining a piece of media or literature of their choice and how they could apply and see psychology within it.

This class is hosted in the swirl() package. This is an interactive learning class in R. The class is designed to be a supplement to Research Methods, teaching students how to code in R. Students are given chances to choose from multiple choice questions, input command line answers, and even edit R Scripts. Students are taught how to use packages such as ggplot2, the tidyverse, stats, and psych. Students are able to rate each lesson and provide feedback to the instructor so I can better improve the class.
