Experimental Psychology I

Catalog description

The first course in a two-semester senior thesis requirement for all psychology majors (see PSY4999). Research methodology emphasizing experimental design is covered. Students conduct a comprehensive review of research literature on a chosen topic, write a detailed review paper of their research, and develop a research question and hypothesis for implementation in PSY 4499 (Experimental Psychology II). This course partially satisfies the requirement for the senior thesis in psychology. A grade of C or better in this course is required to continue in the psychology major program.
