Best Practices for Teaching Beginnings and Endings in the Psychology Major: Research, Cases, and Recommendations (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780195378214)

Providing the right orientation and capstone courses in psychology education is increasingly a concern of instructors, department chairs, program directors, and deans, and both types of courses have become important sources for gathering pre- and post-coursework assessment data for degree learning outcomes.
