Research Methods III

Catalog description

This course is designed as the methodological capstone course in psychology. Students will pursue, in-depth, a specific topic or problem relevant to a particular area of interest in psychology. Each student will present his/her project both orally and in written format, and will participate in discussion and analysis of other student papers as well. Because this is the methodological capstone course, students must be able to demonstrate their ability to write the major paper on a topic in psychology, present this paper orally, and complete a norm-referenced and competency-based assessment of their mastery of psychological principles and concepts.
