The course will involve research experiences relevant to the study of psychology. The format will depend on the research opportunities available each year. Formats might include conducting a research project or components of a research project, working with postgraduate students, participating in research conferences, and winter/summer research intensives. All opportunities will be supervised by a psychology academic from the School of Medicine and Psychology, either alone or in collaboration with academics from other disciplines. Options available each year will be posted online at https://psychology.anu.edu.au/study/special-topics. This is a restricted entry course - applications should occur through the nominated academic for each specific project. This is an Honours Pathway Course.
The nature and weighting of assessment items will vary widely and be customised in negotiation with each student depending on the research project. An example assessment structure is:
Review of the literature to address a research question
Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Presentation of a theoretical or empirical project
Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
A summary paper
Learning outcomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
The expected workload will consist of approximately 130 hours throughout the semester which will include regular meetings with the supervisor and a large component of self-directed study which will include preparation for any presentations and other assessment tasks. Assessment tasks will vary depending on the project. Work Integrated Learning Projects Students may engage with WIL partners (internal/external) as a component of the course
