*In addition to the assigned DSM readings, be sure to skim the criteria for the differential diagnoses in each section of readings.
Quizzes: Class sessions that cover reading assignments will begin with a short 20 point quiz. Quiz results will be discussed immediately following the quiz, and those coming late to class will not be able to have extra time, nor will they be able to take the quiz. Make-up quizzes will NOT be permitted. The top 7 (out of 8) quiz scores will be used in calculating your grade. (7 @ 20 points = 140).
Case Study: After each Film Activity, you will complete a brief (2-3 page) Case Study, typically due during the following class session. Late Case Studies will NOT be accepted, nor will they be accepted via email. If you miss a class, it is your responsibility to contact a classmate for the film information, and to watch the film on your own. Each Case Study is worth 20 points (7 @ 20 points = 140)
Personal Case Study: A separate handout providing more details on this assignment will be distributed during class. 45 points + 5 points for Topic and Reference material turned in on time. (45+5 = 50 points)
Article Presentation: Each student will obtain and present an empirically-based article that extends the course readings. Plan ahead because you may need to request articles through the library. The article may be on the effectiveness of a treatment modality or (e.g., EMDR treatment of PTSD; DBT with borderline personality disorder, etc.) or the current research for the disorder. (10 points.) Research should be current (within the last 5 years). Students must present on the day they indicated on the sign-in sheet. (10 points.)
Final Exam. Details of the final exam will be discussed during the semester. 50 points.
