PSY8020 Advanced Research Techniques (FOSCI)

Units 1.0 (Psychology) Band 1

Pre-requisite: Students must be enrolled in one of the following Programs: DOHP or DPCL or MPCL or MPSH or MSBH

Synopsis

Students will be introduced to a number of techniques. The course also revises and builds upon relevant previous course material. Students will learn to think about research designs and research hypotheses in a more critical, intuitive and constructive way. These techniques are also applied to examples that students may face as a part of their professional career. The course is broken into 3 residential workshops - each one runs for 2 days. The material covered is assessed in 2 assignments of equal weighting. The Examiner may choose to break either or both assessment pieces into multiple smaller assessment items, if they believe this will aid student learning. Final details of each assessment item will be discussing in the first workshop.
