Research Experience in Personality

What predicts professional and academic success? In this course, students will work together in groups of 2 to 4 on research projects directed at this question. In particular, we will test the importance of personality, motivation, interest, and ability to achievement in high school, in college, and in business. The course members meet 6 hours per week (formally and informally); an additional 4 hours of work per week will be completed outside of the lab. Honors students and others interested in extending their research into the spring may be able to do so as a 399-level independent study student.
