PSY 488 - Advanced Self-Directed Projects in Psychology (4 Cr.)(Formerly PSY 329)
This course provides the opportunity for students to consult with each other toward identifying topics of individual interest in psychology and developing those interests into more fully developed projects and proposals. Projects may consist of empirical research; development of programs, services, or interventions, or creative artwork or writing. Students will review relevant literature and work with their instructor, a faculty project mentor, and their classmates to clarify and refine their interests into a well-defined topic of inquiry before moving toward the generation of a project proposal. Alternatively, some students may enter the class with a previously developed project proposal and will use the class as an opportunity to work toward implementation of their project. Counts as an “Advanced Practicum Experience” course in psychology, and also as a Psychology Capstone. In addition to the course topic and relevant skill development, students will focus on broader integration of and reflection on their educational experiences. Prerequisite: Junior or Senior standing and at least 5 courses in psychology; or permission of the instructor. Spring semester. Program faculty.
