What students are saying about earning MREP credit by participating in studies
I found the study to be fun and interactive. It was interesting to see some of the advertising techniques that we learned in class in real life!
Lauren T
The lab was very easy to access and really simple to sign up for. The lab was easy to follow along with and the content associated with this lab didn't require any preparation. I had no issues finding the lab and enjoyed the overall experience of participating in the MREP.

I had fun participating. It was an interesting sort of quiz you might find yourself doing online if you are bored for fun. It activates your brain for a short, interactive experience.
