It will facilitate the hands-on exploration of scientific methods employed in the field of psychology and guide the conceptualization, design, and creation of a semester-long research proposal. This course will require students to examine, evaluate, and synthesize the knowledge and skills learned to this point, and to construct a meaningful reflective narrative of themselves as learners. It will also provide the opportunity to apply various topics with the field (e.g. , consciousness, motivation, learning, memory, cognition, etc.) to explain an aspect of behavior or propose a solution to a problem or challenge in the community.
