The class period before the case discussion, four students will be assigned to conduct the discussion of the case. All students will have an opportunity to be case discussion facilitators. Students will be assigned to a group and will conduct a long-term project about how a specific diagnosis is portrayed in the media. Students will present their findings in a 20-30 minute presentation the day of the final exam. Students grades will be based on the relevance and accuracy of the information presented, creativity of presentation, and on group process participation.
Attendance is mandatory.
It is important for you to attend every class since you will be responsible for all material and information provided during class periods , even if that material is not in the text or announced in the syllabus . It has been my experience that those who regularly attend class generally perform better on exams than those who do not. If you miss class make sure you get the notes from a classmate. Please do not ask me for my notes or whether I covered something important in class. Assume everything I cover in class is relevant.
