On-Line Academic Course on Parapsychology

Period: March 22 - June, 1999 / March-June, 2000

Description

This course is intended for students with a reasonable methodological background. Each week one key-article will be made available through the virtual Library to the 'Internet' students and they are required to comment and answer specific questions by email within 6 days. The emails are redistributed on the 7th day to all participants with commentary of the teacher. The students do also their own (on-line) experiments. There are also 'meet-the-expert' chat sessions where students can ask question in real-time to authors of some of the selected articles. For a detailed description of the on-line course see the syllabus.

The Internet Course will be provided in collaboration with an University in the USA which allows for crediting to US students.

Internet students as well as regular students are required to read the book 'Parapsychology, the Controversial Science' by Richard Broughton, before they start the course. If you cannot easily acquire this book at your local book store you may check the direct ordering page (richard@rhine.org). Another source of valuable information to be studied before the course is the Psi Explorer CD-ROM. A list of the currently used key-articles is given below. Note that there is a limited number of students that can actively participate. There is also an option to become a 'lurking' student. These students just read the literature and the ongoing discussions. They do not fulfill assignments. There is no limitations on the number of 'lurking' students.
