Hello students,

I am writing about an opportunity for you to earn extra credit for this course by participating in a study about your perception of a news story.

The survey can be completed online and may be taken on any computer with an Internet connection at a time and location of your convenience. The study will take approximately 15 minutes to complete. You must be 18 or older to be eligible to participate and you will need to complete the survey to receive extra credit points.

If you are interested in participating, you can follow this link: https://uwmadison.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8AKPCB3kq5OGZNz

Once you complete the survey, you will be directed to a separate survey where you can enter your name and student ID to receive an extra credit.  You will need to complete your participation by March 9th to get credit so, if you plan to participate, please complete the survey this week. All the information you provide will be kept confidential.

If you would like to receive extra credit, but do not want to participate in the study, you may attend an alternate lecture on Wednesday March 14th 12pm-1pm, Vilas 2120. Please note that you cannot receive credit for both—you will get a credit for participating in the study OR attending the lecture.

If you have any concern about the research, please contact Professor Doug McLeod at dmmcleod@wisc.edu or Hyesun Choung at choung2@wisc.edu.

Thank you!
