  • New Course Evaluation System piloting this summer for select colleges

    Dear students,

    We are excited to inform you that 91制片厂Pro University will pilot a new Course Evaluation System (CES) powered by Watermark during the Summer 2025 term. This new platform is designed to make providing course feedback easier, more accessible and more meaningful.

    The pilot will include only students enrolled in courses through the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences and the College of Community and Public Affairs (CCPA). If you are taking courses in these colleges this summer, you will receive an email invitation to complete your course evaluations through the new system.

    If your summer courses are in other colleges or schools, you will continue to complete your evaluations through the Student Opinion of Teaching (SOOT) system, as in past semesters.

    Your feedback is incredibly valuable and helps faculty improve teaching and enhance the learning experience. Whether through CES or SOOT, 91制片厂Pro encourages you to take a few minutes to thoughtfully complete your course evaluations.

    Thank you for contributing to the continued improvement of teaching and learning at 91制片厂Pro.

    Warm regards,
    91制片厂Pro University Course Evaluation Team

Research

  • Research study seeks participants 18 and older to take memory and other cognitive tests in MRI scanner (paid)

    Participate in an MRI study investigating how people predict the accuracy of their memory. The study consists of two sessions (Visit one will take one hour in Science 4, and Visit two will require two hours at UHS Vestal Hospital).

    You are eligible if:
    - You are at least 18 years of age,
    - Have normal or corrected-to-normal vision,
    - Do not have the following: history of neurological disease, severe traumatic brain injury, stroke, claustrophobia, drug or substance abuse, uncontrollable shaking, any conditions that would contraindicate MRI, such as having foreign metallic objects in the body, are left-handed (due to different patterns of brain activity) and pregnancy.

    You must pass a screener over the phone, which assesses MRI eligibility and your current cognitive functioning.

    In the first visit, you will take tests of executive function, word reading ability and fill out survey questions about your demographics, health history, global memory and perception of your mathematical abilities. In the second visit, your brain activity will be measured through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). While in the MRI scanner, you will see pictures of faces and objects, be asked to predict how well you remember them, and take a memory test for them. You will also be asked to complete mathematical tasks while inside the scanner.

    Participants will receive $20 per hour for participating in the study.

    If interested, email mac2research@binghamton.edu or call 607-444-2864.
