A number of common problems plague the teaching of the undergraduate research methods course, from the training ofteaching assistants to providing meaningful experimental materials to handling data acquisition and analysis. The Student Micro Experimental Laboratory (MEL) offers a systematic approach to the management of a computerized research methods laboratory course by combining high-quality experiments in many areas of psychology with background materials to help the instructor and teaching assistant. The software presents and collects data from 28 experiments. The data can be analyzed for single subjects and for classes as a whole. Students can rapidly implement new experiments in a variety ofparadigms. An expanding library of experiments created by students and instructors should provide an expanding environment for teaching experimental research methods. Instructor's materials provide background infor mation, discussion questions, and data analysis for all experiments. The student workbook pro vides discussion ofthe background of the experiment, details of the methodology, and questions addressing various aspects of experimental design and interpretation of data. Several problems are commonly encountered in teach ing the
