If you miss three classes you will be dropped from the course. A late penalty is assessed for any assignments that are not turned in on the specified deadline. While I realize that this may seem severe, you should understand that this course is designed to impart clinical skills that you may provide to the public. It is important that you actually obtain the skills. Also, there are deadlines in the real world.
Confidentiality is an absolute necessity.
If a test subject comes to me with details about a class discussion, then the person who administered the test will be immediately dropped from the course. In addition to classroom activities, all of your testing must be accomplished. You have a great deal of flexibility in scheduling your sessions, but you will have to schedule one with me so that I may observe you administering the tests to subjects. A weekly sign-up sheet will be posted on my office door. Testing sessions may be videotaped for later feedback and critique, with the consent of the subject.
