Independent Research Projects for Credit

Course Description

An Individual Project is an intensive laboratory or applied research project for students who seek training and/or exposure complementary to that provided for by our regular course offerings.  It is a student's responsibility to obtain prior consent of a supervisor from the Department of Psychology who will closely observe and then evaluate the project.

A project proposal must be prepared demonstrating that there will be adequate supervision, and that the work will be academically demanding, of substantial magnitude, and uniquely suitable for the student.  The proposal will include a description of the method of evaluation of the work.  The proposal signed by student and supervisor is to be submitted for approval to the Director of Undergraduate Studies.  Once approval has been received, the project must be added to your list of academic activities on ROSI by the Undergraduate Advisor.

Prerequisites: PSY201H5/equivalent, 1.0 FCE in PSY at the 300 level, GPA of 3.0

Please complete and submit an enrolment form to the Psychology Academic Counsellor, Jodie Stewart in the Davis Building no later than the first week of September if you are starting in the Fall, or the first week in January if you are starting in the Winter.  If you are doing a summer project, please have your proposal completed and submitted by end of April.
