Program Learning Outcome (PLO) Performance Level 1 (Novice) Performance Level 2 (Internship) Performance Level 3 (Entry-level) Performance Level 4 (Graduate) Research: Students will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the research methods in the social and behavioral sciences, the benefits and limitations of research, and the scientific and professional literature relevant to the field of forensic psychology. Student did not produce scholarship consistent with degree being sought. If scholarship was produced, the research methods chosen and/or literature review was not rigorous and only vaguely addressed the research question. The literature was minimally relevant to the topic in forensic psychology. Student shows little to no understanding of the links between research, evaluation, and practice. Student needed moderate guidance choosing appropriate research methods and/or left out critical limitations of the research and/or professional literature in scholarship assignment. Student required moderate guidance (3-4 times) from instructor/supervisor on finding appropriate relevant literature. Student shows a vague understanding of the links between research, evaluation, and practice. Student demonstrated understanding of the research methods, identified limitations of the research, and included references in the professional literature relevant to the field of forensic psychology. Student required minimal guidance (1-2 times) from instructor/supervisor on finding appropriate relevant literature. Student understands the links between research, evaluation, and practice. Student independently demonstrated understanding of benefits and limitations of the research methods and literature reviewed. Student included recent, extensive literature review from multiple journals, books, and other resources beyond the curriculum. Student is highly conscientious, recognizes and appreciates the links between research, evaluation, and practice.
