Test and Quiz Format: Tests and quizzes will primarily consist of shortanswer and fill-in-the-blank questions, but at times tests and quizzes will
require longer responses. Tests will be designed to be completed within one
hour and quizzes will be designed to be completed in 10 minutes. Material
presented in both required readings and lectures are fair game, though in
general the topics focused on in lecture are considered most important.

rates increasing? Why does the public distrust science?), examine the
problem in light of current thinking (theory) and evidence (e.g.,
research studies) and communicate some novel insight (argument)
about the nature of the problem and/or propose an intervention, based
on evidence. The paper will be graded on whether a central thesis has
been developed, whether the thesis has been defended with
compelling evidence, and whether the piece is written in a clear,
coherent, and engaging style. In addition to submitting the Op/Ed, I
must also see proof that you have submitted the Op/Ed to a real media
outlet.
Clinical Case Analysis: This will be a group project/exam that will begin
within one class period. Students will be asked to form their own groups of 45 students and will be presented with information about a specific person
experiencing a specific type of problem. The groups will have to identify the
symptoms the person is experiencing, diagnose the person with a type (or
types) of disorder(s), and briefly outline a treatment plan for the person.
Students will then leave the class and have 24 hours to write a group clinical
assessment report on the client (format for clinical assessment report will be
provided by Prof Borelli).
