As an extension of PSY 315.3 (Advanced Developmental I Social and Emotional) and in consultation with the instructor and student peers, students (either individually or as a member of a pair or small group) will develop an independent research project in social and emotional development. Each student will design a study, collect and analyze data, write up a final research report following APA Report Writing Style, and present the results in class and in a poster presentation. Required Textbooks : None required. However, the following textbook, used in the immediately past fall sections of 315 will be used for reference, should that become necessary. Miller, S. A. (2007). Developmental research methods (3 rd ed.). Thousand Oaks, CA: SAGE. Depending on the particular research projects chosen, the following textbooks may be suitable references: Creasy, Gary L. (2005) Research methods in life-span development. Toronto: Pearson Education. Crain, William (2000) Theories of Development: Concepts and Applications. Upper Saddle River, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, Inc. Computer Resources: The Arts Computer Lab will provide students with resources including word processing software, PAWS, SPSS, and E-mail programs. Note: Computer, printer, e-mail, and network problems will not be accepted as reasons for late submission of assignments. Thus you will need to allow time for such possible problems. Paws and E-mail may be used for announcements and class discussion information. Please note that students are responsible to check their University of Saskatchewan e-mail accounts (e.g. xyz123@usask.ca or xyz123@mail.usask.ca). Thus, to communicate with you, only e-mail addresses in the usask domain will be used . If students choose to have their e-mails forwarded to an outside address, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the forwarding process works. 315/ 316 psy: Contact for instruments pertaining to 315/316 projects. http://www.depts.ttu.edu/hs/research/reifman/qic.htm University Policies: The University of Saskatchewan calendar (http://www.usask.ca/calendar/) provides important information and dates (e.g. drop/add dates, exam and holiday dates). Note the university policies on emails, student conduct and regulations for classes. For more information see: 1. http://www.usask.ca/university_council/reports/archives/guide_conduct.shtml 2. Students may find the following web site helpful if they have questions about plagiarism or academic honesty: www.usask.ca/honesty/ 4. For Student Academic Dishonesty Rules, see www.usask.ca/university_council/reports/09-27-99.shtml 2
or http://www.usask.ca/university_secretary/pdf/dishonesty_info_sheet.pdf 5. For Student Appeals and discipline Information, see www.usask.ca/university_secretary/student appeals.shtml When sending E-mails: 1) Please make sure you are identifiable by your name when you send a message. 2) In the subject box specify that the message pertains to PSY 316 and provide a short subject topic. 3) When sending an e-mail allow time for a response. Academic Dishonesty Please review the references above or the Calendar section (http://www.usask.ca/calendar/policies/studentrights/) concerning academic dishonesty, particularly the section on plagiarism (the presentation of the work or idea of another in such a way as to give others the impression that it is the work or idea of the presenter). St. Thomas More College follows the rules regarding Academic Dishonesty as delineated in the University of Saskatchewan Calendar. Of these, plagiarism is a particularly serious offence that involves presenting another person’s writing, ideas, or creative work as your own. When quoting, paraphrasing, describing, presenting, summarizing, or translating the work of others, you must acknowledge, the source of the information you use, which includes ensuring that the reader can differentiate between your words and the words of others. Sources may come in print, electronic, digital, visual, or oral form, and may be provided by a published author, fellow student, artist, or Internet site. Purchasing papers is not permitted. It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes plagiarism; when in doubt, consult your professor. The policy can be found on the following web site: http://www.stmcollege.ca/academic/plagiarism.as . Class Format: Seminar: Students are expected to participate in class organization sessions, in mix and match projects, in listening to presentations of proposals, in giving constructive criticism to other student’s proposals and in problem solving sessions. Class attendance and participation: "Regular and punctual attendance is expected of students in all their classes (including lectures, laboratories, tutorials, and seminars)." ( http://www.usask.ca/calendar/policies/attendance/ ). Attendance and participation in discussion will be evaluated. Students who are absent for other students' class presentations will receive a grade of 0 for their own presentation unless a written medical excuse is provided. Attendance will be recorded at the beginning of each class. Attendance marks will only be assigned if students attend an entire class (partial marks will not be assigned if a student leaves class early). Participation marks will be based on student engagement and preparedness in class activities. Class cancellation: If for any reason class has to be cancelled you will be notified through PAWS. Grading scheme: Basis for marking (see also Class Syllabus) Submit by 9:10 a.m. on each due date to avoid late penalty 1. Due date: 16 Jan. Weight (toward final grade): 5%. Point-form outline of introduction to your research topic, with annotated bibliography (required for each student individually – collaboration in pairs can be organized after this step). 2. Due date: 23 Jan. Weight: 5%. Draft ethics application (earlier submission is encouraged). After feedback from me the application is to be submitted to Psy REC by Jan. 30. 3
