Course description:
All honors students must attend the Senior Honors Seminar. The Honors Seminar is a 0.5 cu course that meets for two semesters (two hours per week).The primary function of the Honors Seminar is to develop the scientific and professional skills of psychology students (in conjunction with their independent research project). Thus, a primary focus of the seminar is the development of skills in critical reading, writing, and public speaking. Other functions of the Honors Seminar include education/career planning and training in ethical practices, research methods, and statistics. Students in theseminar will attend Psychology Department colloquia, followed by a class discussion, to expose them to the variety of excellent research in psychology and to illustrate effective presentation techniques. Finally, another important function of the Honors Seminar is to increase Esprit de Corps among our Honors students, who by spending time together will be able to support and advise one another throughout their senior year.
