It will involve lectures/interactive workshops to develop and apply research skills to interpret, critique and synthesize research and design a research proposal feasible to conduct at SVSU. Students will learn about ethics, designs, measurement issues, secondary data possibilities, and develop professional communication skills of technical writing/oral presentation. They will also learn to apply statistical methods for their proposed studies. This course is particularly recommended for students bound for graduate study in psychology or other social sciences.
