Just past mid-semester their will be a one hour exam on the selected case studies. Details will be given in class. I hope to put it on the Web Site for this course so it can be periodically updated and expanded by future classes. Details, specific format and content will be determined by the class members. Students will select a case from published materials to include plays, short stories, memoirs and movies and analyze it according to selected concepts from family system theories.
Students can work individually or in pairs.
Selected presentations will be made. Individually and in small group students will present a case based on a published memoir selected in advance for the course. This will take place during the final five weeks of the course. Details will be given out in class. The work at this level should be very well organized, very well written and suggest a creative and innovative approach to the area of study.
