Spring semester schedule

I'm very excited and a little crazed about next semester. I'll be taking six classes (but only 16 credits because one of them is a 1 credit seminar). But I'll be in class 5 days a week. Jiminy.

So, in no particular order:

Cognition - Cognitive determinants of human behavior. Theories and research in information processing, consciousness, memory and reasoning.

Fundamentals of Behavioral Neuroscience - Biological aspects of human behavior, including affect and motivation, from the perspectives of historical development, current theory and research, and applications.

Intervention II - Part II of a three course sequence examining the major schools of therapy, with consideration of life span development, human diversity, and a variety of special populations. Examines contemporary interventions with adults, children, families and groups. Short term, long term, and intermittent approaches are considered in the context of accountability.

Assessment I: Intelligence - Preparatory course in clinical assessment with emphasis on theory, administration, scoring and interpretation. Demonstration, practice, and test report writing using the Wechsler Scales.

Cognitive Behavior Therapy - Survey of theory and practice. Behavioral assessment and treatment of a variety of common clinical problems. Emphasis on more recent cognitive behavior therapy approaches.

Treatment of Anxiety Seminar - Behavioral interventions in the treatment of anxiety disorders with a focus on exposure therapy.


Hee. I can't wait.
