DPSY 698 - Assessment Data Clinic

0 Credit(s)

Assessment Data Clinic is an experience in which students undergo an appraisal of their assessment skills with the goal of strengthening them. Particular attention is given to case formulation, diagnostic conceptualization, and treatment recommendations. Students receive a data set consisting of observational, historical, cognitive, and personality data. They are asked to work with this material and render a report. Significantly, students are required to work independently although they have full access to any written resources such as assessment textbooks. They are graded on a rubric that emphasizes basic competencies and given extension feedback. Any student who does not meet the expectancy levels for a student at this level receives remediation. Students meet with the instructor, read the feedback, and rewrite the section of the report that is deficient. If a student continues to show significant deficiencies, he or she would be referred for faculty review for further remediation or other action.
