THE RESEARCH AND WRITING PROJECT

WHAT IS IT?

The Research and Writing Project is a quarter-long project designed to let students experience the scientific process by proposing original ideas for research. The project is also intended to help students develop critical thinking and communication skills. The project is divided into multiple phases and students receive extensive feedback from their Teaching Fellow on each phase.  The project is worth 20% of your overall grade for the Psych One course.
