This unit is the first of two units which provide for the conduct of a project designed to give students direct experience in the research processes of acquiring and empirically testing knowledge about human behaviour. The research project will be a substantial component of their fourth year of study and will engage students in all steps of the research process from formulation of appropriate research questions and research design including formulation of research hypotheses, to data collection, analysis and detailed reporting of research findings. This first semester unit will focus on the steps of the research process prior to data collection.
