How do I find a supervisor?
Research topics for 2015 are available on your hand-out and the School of Psychology website (under Honours). A copy will also be available on Psyc 325 Blackboard.
Email the supervisor who is offering a project in your area of interest to ask about the possibility of working with him/her.
Your first choice of topic/supervisor may not be available so it’s a good idea to identify several projects of interest Honour's ProgrammeSlide13

before”"I think Hons is a daunting and scary year with huge amounts of work and an intense pressure that never seems to end. But if you manage to deal with it, you will learn more about what interests you, the actual inner-workings of the psychology world and how to apply your knowledge in this year than you did in all of undergrad combined. So those 3rd years who are considering applying should absolutely do so. Because coming from someone who hates social interaction with a passion, it was the most valuable experience I've had meeting these people and I'm glad I did so."Honours is great because…Slide15Slide16Slide17Slide18Slide19
