PSYC 4990

Students integrate and apply the knowledge and skills acquired during their psychology honours degree by completing a capstone project related to their professional development goals. Students strengthen their research, writing, and analytical skills by conducting original research under the direction of a Psychology faculty member. They also demonstrate, assess, and explain how their capstone project meets the program’s learning outcomes and TRU’s four general education themes of Connection, Engagement, Exploration, and Local-to-Global. Students strengthen interpersonal relations and build community by contributing to discussions in structured seminars, receiving and incorporating faculty feedback into their work, and facilitating the success of their peers through a collaborative peer review process. Note: Students accepted into the Psychology Honours Program must register in this course for consecutive Fall and Winter semesters.
