Abstract
A Laboratory in Social Psychology course project allowed students to design and conduct an exit survey of graduating psychology majors. During the 6-week project, survey research issues were illustrated by active-learning activities. Nine months later, students indicated that the exercise enhanced their critical-thinking skills, understanding of survey research, and interest in and enthusiasm for research. Another benefit was that the student exit survey assisted the faculty in generating questions for a departmental exit survey.
