Notes: Permission of major coordinator required. Topical Section Description: You will explore the omnipresence of belief throughout psychology first by examining what beliefs are and then the class will review how they are studied in various fields of psychology through reading-centered, student-led discussions as you develop your research question (RQ). The course project will be one of the following choices: (1) an extensive and thorough literature review exploring your RQ; (2) a research proposal including a literature review and empirical research design, or (3) an empirical report (for this option you need have a fully developed proposal prior to the start of class as a starting point; you may need to develop it further for this Capstone). To optimize your writing development you will review and critically evaluate your writing according to APA Style (7e)’s guidelines for effective scholarly writing about research. To complete your studies at TUJ, you will create a Senior Portfolio representing the best and most meaningful works and accomplishments from your TUJ experiences. Finally, and for the Senior Portfolio, you will develop or update your curriculum vitae (CV) and résumé and prepare a checklist for requesting letters of recommendation in the future. NOTES: (1) The instructor recommends that you have completed all your 3000-level Psych courses before taking Capstone, including at least 2 advanced (3000-level) courses and the required elective: Internship or Collaborative Research. (2) You can use a fully developed research proposal from a previous course as the starting point for conducting an empirical study culminating in the empirical research report project option; discuss this option with the instructor at the start of the course.
