This course focuses mainly on reviewing and reflecting on research literature spanning many different topics within Clinical Psychology. Andy will lecture about the topic, and then take time for the class to reflect, comment, and ask questions about the content. This class made me so much more comfortable with reading and analyzing research literature, and made me much more aware about how we might benefit from changes to the current research and publication processes in place. If you have interest in going into Clinical Psychology in any capacity, and specifically research, I would highly recommend taking this course. Course Details: It is a very straightforward course, and as long as you read the assigned papers and complete the assignments you will almost certainly receive an A. Each week there will be a lecture reading, discussion reading, and an optional reading before the Friday class. Based on these readings there are 10 reaction papers (2 pages double-spaced), of which you only have to complete 6. In addition, there is a group project that is presented at the end of the semester. |

One of the most considerate professors I’ve had at UMD. Andy sets up his class for success. You choose which weeks you want to complete a short 2 page reaction paper for, which are the bulk of your grade. Class focuses more on developments in clinical psychology and how to expand the field rather than current clinical practice, which was not what I was expecting but still interesting. He also focuses more on children and adolescent mental health, which does give a unique perspective. Exams are fair and he gives a very helpful lecture beforehand that goes over all the topics that will be on the exam. Andy also has good advice for graduate school and career planning, and great knowledge of the research psychology field. Basically, if you try a little in this class you will get an A, but engaging in class will give you a better perspective on the field. Would definitely recommend to people interested in clinical psychology, research into clinical psychology, or if you just need to fill a credit. |
