Subject:

Description:

The main intent of this course is to acquire the skills necessary to read, understand, and critique original research in biological psychology/neuroscience. Secondarily, students explore particular topics with the goal of developing interests and a research proposal that could serve as the basis for a thesis proposal. After appropriate modeling by the instructor, each student becomes an expert in two topics of his or her choice, finds representative articles for the class to read, and then leads the class in a discussion of the topic. Students write occasional critiques of articles presented by other students and write a final paper/proposal on one of their topics. Prerequisite(s): Neuroscience/Psychology 200. Recommended background: Neuroscience/Psychology 363 or 330 or Biology/Neuroscience 308. Enrollment limited to 12. [S] J. Kelsey.
