Does any know of a source that spells out the differences 
between what would be covered in an undergraduate course 
compared to a graduate course of the same name - e.g. a 
course in Research Methods at the undergraduate level vs. 
the graduate level. I am asking because I have had students 
who enter Master's Level programs in Psychology complain 
their courses are easier than what they had as 
undergraduates.I believe what we are teaching at the 
undergraduate level here is clearly introductory, 
undergraduate material. What I want to know is who 
determines the standards for graduate programs? And how do 
some graduate programs get away with teaching what appears 
to be an undergraduate curriculum in some courses for 
graduate credit?
