    Learning Goals
    The course will introduce you to the field of clinical psychology. Topics will include: classification, diagnosis, as-
    sessment, psychotherapy, and research methods for studying clinical phenomena. At the end of this semester, you
    should: (1) understand why it is important to promote the science of clinical psychology, (2) be able to use
    empirical evidence to critique the reliability and validity of psychological measures, and (3) be able to list empirical-
    ly supported treatments for specific forms of psychopathology.

    Grading
    15% Quizzes
    25% Exam I
    25% Exam II
    35% Final Exam

    Important Note
    Pop quizzes will be given throughout the semester. The quizzes will cover the assigned reading(s) for that particu-
    lar class day. So, come to class prepared! Why would I do this to you? Research (Roediger et al., 2006) suggests
    that students who take quizzes learn more than students who simply study the material over and over again.
    Also, I don’t post slides. Why would I make you write so much? Research (Chi, 2009) shows that active note tak-
    ing leads to better student outcomes than passive observing. This also means you should take your own notes ra-
    ther than relying on notes from someone else!

    Make-up quizzes and exams will only be rescheduled if you contact me before the time of the quiz, and ONLY in
    cases of sanctioned school activities, illness or other extreme circumstance. Note, that the final exam is cumula-
    tive. Also write down the day/time of the final! Dean’s approval is needed to change the final exam.

    PLEASE contact me if you are having trouble or would like to discuss the material-- stop by my office, email, etc.

    Policies
    Academic integrity is expected. The University’s Honor Code (http://honorcode.nd.edu/) reminds our community
    of our shared purpose both within the institute of academia and as members of a broader humanity; the statement
    also outlines policy violation procedures. This means that all submitted work must be your own. You are encour-
    aged to discuss the readings and issues from class with your classmates. However, you must complete all course
    assignments individually (getting notes from someone when excused from class is acceptable). Remember, “As a
    member of the Notre Dame community, I will not participate in or tolerate academic dishonesty.” If you do not
    abide by the honor code, you will receive a 0 on the assignment and may receive a failing grade for the course. If
    you are unsure about whether a particular behavior violates the honor code, then please ask.

    Special Needs
    If you have a disability and need accommodations, then please contact the Office for Students with Disabilities
    (http:///www.nd.edu/~osd). If you qualify, you will receive a Course Accommodation Letter for me to sign.
