Undergraduate Supervisory System

Undergraduate Supervisory System

What is the Undergraduate Supervisory System?

The Undergraduate Supervisory System (USS) is a supervisory system within the Behavior Analysis Training System. The mission of USS is to manage the performance of undergraduate research assistants, undergraduate learning assistants, and undergraduate thesis students who are completing either a Lee Honors College Thesis or a Departmental Thesis. The subsystem’s main priority is to maintain the efficient completion of research by undergraduates, supported by master’s mentors.

 

The USS managers’ responsibilities include creating resources and rubrics for thesis writing, monitoring the quality-based performance of undergrads, monitoring the feedback of master’s mentors, and providing support in terms of conference presentations, posters, and end-of-the-year orals.


Complete A Thesis With Us!

Interested in doing some of your own research? Become a thesis student! Undergraduate thesis students conduct their own research, including collecting data, creating procedures, graphing, and writing a complete thesis. USS helps each thesis student work through writing a departmental thesis or Lee Honors College thesis with performance management and breaks it down into easy-to-manage pieces. Send us an e-mail at psy_uss@wmich.edu if you are interested!

Be A Research Assistant!

BATS is always conducting research and want you to be a part of it. Research Assistants (RAs) are placed with one of the doctoral or master’s students to help them conduct research for their dissertation or master’s project. RAs get experience collecting data and IOA, running sessions, graphing, and much more. Send us an e-mail at psy_uss@wmich.edu if you are interested!

Be A Learning Assistant!

Learning Assistants (LAs) for BATS are placed to work in one of the BATS subsystems. Each of the subsystems serve different functions and are what makes BATS run smoothly and efficiently. LAs work under the guidance of a graduate student mentor and complete weekly tasks that help your subsystem. Examples of tasks include: grading homework assignments, updating course materials, attend class, and more! Send us an e-mail at psy_uss@wmich.edu if you are interested!
