I join Stephen Black in welcoming you to TIPS. In answer to your question, I think that the important points to cover in an experimental psychology couse can be summed up in this quote from Carol Travis:
...that what we know is inseparable from how we know it; that opinions must be based on evidence; that not all opinions have equal validity; and that science gives us probabilities - only pseudoscience gives us certainties. That opens the door to discussions of all the aspects of experimental design that make experiments valuable sources of knowledge.
