Re: senior capstone experience

[Dr . Bob Wildblood]

At Indiana University Kokomo, we have a senior seminar course.  This is 
run as an in depth study of some area of psychology that the instructor 
is particularly interested in (or occasionally is a student decision as 
to what they might like to learn much more about.)  As I said, it is 
run as a seminar with the instructor having primary responsibility for 
the course for the first 4 - 6 weeks and then the students presenting 
what they have gotten from the research in the area.  In general, it 
seems to work well.

Now,I'd like to say that one of my favorite capstone experiences was to 
have an advanced General Psychology class.  At a former school we would 
use one of the "powerhouse" Intro books as the text as well as have 
groups of students work on the specific areas covered in the text and 
would also include some history of psych as part of the course.  
Students liked this course and those who went on to take the subject 
area psych GRE said it helped a great deal.
