I conducted a survey concerning students’ interests in Cognitive Psychology. I sent an email to 150 1st-year students registered in the lecture Kognitionspychologie II and received 95 responses. The results are presented below as beanplots, which depict the distribution across the 1-7 point scale going from “not at all interesting” to “extremely interesting”. The good news: Most of the students find that the main topics covered in the lecture are interesting. Not so good news: Students find math and methods relatively uninteresting. Of course, that will change dramatically once they attended the lecture… 🙂
