PSY-RSS02 Scholarly Argument1 semester credits
This hands-on skills training will provide didactic material on using evidence, synthesizing the existing literature, and making and organizing a scholarly argument. The seminar uses multiple writing and conceptualization exercises to create a scholarly argument for a proposed new study based on several articles provided by the instructor. Developing a scholarly argument is an essential skill required in writing scholarly papers for other classes as well as for the development of a dissertation or any other research report. The course is offered over two days; students must sign up for both days, must leave time between classes to meet with other students to work on assignments, and must complete the final paper in order to receive credit.
