Signing up for PSY 398 gives you the opportunity to work with a research team and receive feedback and supervision while developing critical research skills. To make the process as easy as possible, you should follow the steps outlined below.
1. Contact a faculty member who is conducting research in an area that interests you. To find out what kind of projects are currently in progress, you can stop by a faculty member's office during their office hours, go to the psychology department home page and follow the links for the faculty or access our web page of research opportunities.
This can be somewhat intimidating if you are not used to approaching the faculty about these kinds of opportunities. However, be assured that our faculty are uniquely interested in helping undergraduates develop these skills and welcome your interests!
2. Once you have met with a faculty member and discussed your role in the project, stop by the Undergraduate Advising office in 2124 Wood Hall during walk-in hours and obtain a Permission to Elect form.
3. Obtain the needed signatures and follow the directions provided to you by the Undergraduate Advisors.
4. Turn the form back into the Undergraduate Advisors. They will sign you up for the credits.
It is a good idea to start this process early. Getting the paperwork done will alleviate any problems with tuition bills, financial aid and last minute panic! If you have any questions, feel free to email the Undergraduate Advisors at psy-advising@wmich.edu.
