Putting It All Together: An Integrated Look at Psychology
In this capstone seminar students will be asked to integrate what they have learned throughout their course of study to produce comprehensive works (both oral and written) that focus on a topic of interest to them. We will begin with a unit that looks at happiness from multiple perspectives (i.e., biological, social, developmental). Students will then similarly explore an area of their choosing and present their work to their classmates. Topics will vary based on student interest but, in the past, have included explorations of topics such as risk-taking, language acquisition, and music and behavior. (Open to junior and senior psychology majors only) 3 hrs. sem.
