Practical: Student Psychology Symposium
Full course description
During the research course, students have to conduct all relevant steps in scientific research (research proposal, collecting data etc.). The final phase herein is the symposium at the end of the course in which groups of students will have to present their findings (poster or presentation) to an audience of fellow students, psychologists, and a jury. In general, some groups are invited to prepare a presentation and the other groups have to prepare a poster. A jury consisting of researchers of the faculty will look at each presentation, poster and award at the end different prices (e.g., best presentation, best research, etc.). Students are instructed to provide questions and feedback to fellow students.
The final assessment for this course is pass or fail - and not a numerical grade between 0,0 and 10,0.
