Context in some pieces of literature make or break the book. Though Of Mice and Men seems easy to read, the basis for the world of broken workers in a the broken world of The Great Depression is alien to the students of today who text, watch TV and drive cars to their High School Class. There are still poor in America, extremely poor, yet the majority of kids today have so much more than what the majority had during the Great Depression. The students' job is to present the daily life of the Depression from a common person’s point of view.

How is psychology influenced by the digitalization of almost everything? What can frequent digital measurements and novel statistical techniques mean for 21st century psychology?

In this tutorial students conduct both an N=1 time-series case study and experiment, measuring some aspects of their daily life, such as mood, food intake, social activities, exercise, attention, alertness, sleep, or anything else they like. The experiment will result in (1) a linear graph depicting the effect of the chosen intervention through time and (2) a network depicting relationships between the chosen variables through time.

With this personal case study and experiment students get some insights into the new possibilities of frequently repeated measurements for studying (individual) human behavior.
