Supervised Research in Psychology I

Catalog description

Training and participation in techniques or duties related to a specific laboratory or field research experience under the direct supervision of a faculty member in the Department of Psychology & Counseling. Students will discuss a set of research goals for the semester with their professor. These research goals should be at a suitable level for the number of credits the student is earning. Students’ responsibilities will vary based on the research goals set by the professor. Example responsibilities include study design, data collection, data entry, IRB proposals, statistical software training, and presentations both internally at New York Tech and externally. Research may be a self-designed study from the student, or established research as an assistant in an existing laboratory. In order to set clear expectations of responsibilities, in the beginning of the semester, students will create a written agreement with their faculty mentor about specific meeting requirements, productivity levels, and what is expected to be accomplished by the end of the semester. Each week of the course, students should expect to spend an average of one hour meeting in-person with their faculty mentor and three hours completing supplemental work as assigned. Students may only take a total of 6 credits of Supervised Research in Psychology (PSYC 481/482/483) credits throughout their tenure at New York Tech. Instructor approval is required to enroll in this course. Classroom Hours - Laboratory and/or Studio Hours – Course Credits: 0-1-1 Inst Cnst
