Passing this write-up qualifies the students for the writing requirement in psychology. Because senior project is the culmination of a student's scientific research learning experience in the psychology major, it is expected that the project will be somewhat novel, will extend the theoretical understanding of their previous work (or of the previous work of another researcher), and go well beyond any similar projects that they might have done in any of their previous courses.
