This experiment involves a course selection task. Enter your Participant ID to begin.
Task Instructions
In each trial, you will choose between two hypothetical courses. Each course includes three types of information:
1. Professor Rating This includes an instructor rating score, how many students would take the course again, and a short student comment.
2. Grade Distribution This shows the overall difficulty / grading pattern for the course.
3. Class Time This shows the scheduled meeting time of the course.
Important: once you click on a course, your answer is submitted immediately and cannot be changed.
Please make your choices as you naturally would when selecting a course.

Select your preferred course.
Once you click a course, your answer will be recorded immediately and cannot be changed.

Please take a moment to reflect on the choices you just made. Think about how much weight you gave to professor quality, grade distribution, and class time.
In a moment, you will be asked to rate the importance of these factors again.
