PROFESSORS:

EXPIREMENTS: there are a multitude of experiments that are available for students of all levels that pertain to the many different fields of psychology. Dr. Farmer-Dougan at Illinois State University, for example, conducts many types of experiments with animals. A junior undergraduate student Emily Slanker was able to take the time to explain one of the experiments she is conducting with Dr. Farmer-Dougan. This experiment looks specifically at imitation with the average dog and deaf dogs. They use operant conditioning to train the average dog tricks and skills then use those same techniques and the trained dog to teach the deaf dog those same cues. 

SATISFACTION: There seems to be an overall satisfaction with the program at Illinois State University. Most students say that they enjoy the professors and the classes at the upper level. There are some uninteresting classes as prerequisites but most programs do.
