Hilaryc Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Hi, I am currently completing my Honours in Psychology and am seeking volunteers for my study looking at people’s relationship styles and sexual behaviour. If you are interested in participating, please click on this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/SGG3G2L Thanks!
will1988 Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 I am taking your survey now and I must say that for someone going for their Masters degree that there is a lot of spelling and logic errors!
Arabella Posted July 10, 2013 Posted July 10, 2013 Master's? I'm under the impression she's doing a BS in Psychology. I did do the survey though Hope it helps! 1

It specifies australia in there a few times... plus the fact it says "honours", I'm not sure if that is master's equavelent or not. I took the survey too, but had problems with certain questions. Also, no offense, but at the end you asked the same questions but in multiple ways.

I think she meant the "honors" component of the degree. Sometimes, you need to do an extra course or research project to graduate with honors, especially on a BS. A high GPA isn't always enough. Plus, she's only the associate researcher... if this was a Master's or PhD program, she would probably be the main researcher, along with her advisor. It's actually standard procedure in research projects like this one to ask the same questions in different ways. Believe it or not... people answer differently depending on the wording, so they're trying to get a better picture by using several alternatives. It's smart if you think about it! -A 1

Thanks for enlightening me.

Thanks for enlightening me. Yep, the capstone course or thesis for a Bachelor's degree is pretty much standard across the board on the US (either/or, sometimes only one option is offered). In my case, I did a capstone course with a final project for my BS of IT. If you are in a special "honors" program (which usually only accept exceptional students in the major), you often have to do additional work beyond that to complete the degree. For example, in my school you had to take on an additional semester-long research project with an advisor. I had the grades to get into the program, but I couldn't be bothered with the work so I graduated with a "regular" degree. Sounds similar to what the OP is doing. 1
