TeachingAn important mission of the Media Effects Research Laboratory is to serve as a training ground for young media effects researchers. As part of its teaching mission, the lab offers hands-on experience with the practical aspects of conducting laboratory experiments to undergraduate as well as graduate students. Students enrolled in Penn State classes on media effects and research methods use the lab for conducting their class assignments on observation and measurement techniques as well as for performing their end-semester group projects.
