I am working with our departmental assessment committee and we have been discussing a
senior capstone course. As of now there are some differing opinions regarding the
content of this course and how many credit hours is should be worth.
I am hoping that there may be some members out there who have experience with this
type of course.
Our first pass at content was to consider a 1 hour per week course which covered basic
post college preparation activities (applications to grad school, resume writing,
etc.) as well as some assessment issues (e.g., GRE subject test or similar
instrument).
I would be interested in hearing other's opinions regarding what things should were
done in the course, or how it could be handled. If your institution has a course like
this, I would also be interested in knowing is it targeted at pre-grad school students
or all psychology majors? is it required? What do students/faculty think of it?
