Grinnell College's Introduction to Psychology course has a weekly 3-hour lab component. There is not a required capstone, but there is the opportunity, and it is strongly encouraged.

We're considering some curriculum changes here at LVC, and I'm taking an informal poll of practices at other schools. If anyone can provide answers to the following questions (I'm just looking for YES or NO; elaboration is not necessary), it would be greatly appreciated. 1. Do the General/Introductory psychology courses in your curriculum have a lab component (and I don't mean participation here--I'm looking at whether or not the students enrolled in these courses engage in research (in any form) as an experimenter)? 2. Do you have a capstone requirement (within the psych major) whereby upper-level students carry out data collection-based research projects? Thanks!
