The Applied Project course takes students through the stages of a project proposal development, implementation, reporting, and presentation of findings, guided by a designated project advisor. Students will individually plan a project proposal on a topic of their area of interest, guided by appropriate conceptual, methodological, and theoretical principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. Students are required to implement the proposal by collecting and analysing data using a single subject experimental design while observing ethical procedures.
