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?
