| PSYC 450 - Empirical Research Thesis in Psychology |
|
A culminating academic experience for Psychology majors during which students apply research methodology to the study of psychological topics. Working alone or in small groups, students complete at least one original empirical research project through stages of the research process, such as review of literature, hypothesis formulation, research design, data collection and analysis, and drawing conclusions. As one of the capstone courses for the major, students continue to develop their ability to think within the discipline, and they refine their communication skills through oral and written reports. They also apply and/or integrate knowledge about the scientific method, ethics, and diversity. Students create a final product for public dissemination. Research methods, content, and supervision structure may vary by instructor. Note: A minimum grade of C- (1.70) is required in this course in order to fulfill a psychology major capstone requirement.
Prerequisites: Second-semester junior status, completion of PSYC 391 Research II: Quasi-Experimental and Experimental Methods with a minimum grade of C-, completion of one additional 300-level psychology course, and permission of instructor. Psychology majors only.
