This course introduces the concepts related to the classification of psychopathologies across the lifespan, emphasizing the DSM-5 and other classification systems. Students gain an in-depth familiarity with how psychological disorders are conceptualized and diagnosed and develop a strong understanding of the essential features of psychopathologies which occur across the lifespan. Significant emphasis is placed on a thorough analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of diagnostic systems, examination of categorical versus dimensional understandings of psychological functioning, and exploration of the historical and societal factors that have influenced, and continue to influence, how clinical psychologists conceptualize psychopathology. Students are also introduced to the rapidly growing field of developmental psychopathology, a theoretically and empirically-based framework that provides a unifying perspective for understanding the onset and development of both health and clinical disorder across life.

This course examines the determinants or causes of public policy in small-island jurisdictions. Students familiarize themselves with various models for understanding the causes of public policy and with selected frameworks for comparing policy across jurisdictions.

This course examines the history, purpose, and uses of a Liberal Arts education, with attention to the three key areas identified in the major: communication, leadership and culture. In this course, students explore core Liberal Arts concepts-for example, language, history, and creativity-both in terms of how they are studied in the post-secondary classroom and how they are applied outside the university context. The applied part of the course focuses on community engagement, citizenship and social responsibility. Students are introduced to community-based research, participatory action research, and community service learning, as well as the use of technology to promote social change. This course is for students who would like a better understanding of Liberal Arts skills and knowledge, particularly in relation to civic engagement. 07-09-2023-21-12-2023 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 08:30AM - 09:45AM, Robertson Library, Room 235

This course builds on foundations in qualitative inquiry to support student's assessment of the transferability of qualitative empirical and theoretical work for psychological practice. Students learn how to interrogate qualitative research for ontology, epistemology, and methodology to assess the authenticity and trust worthiness of published accounts. Analysis of case study, phenomenological, and discursive applications enable students to discern the strength and limitations inherent in each approach. Evaluation of mixed methods is also included in the course, broadly-speaking for their applicability for understanding health and psychopathology, and specifically in areas such as understanding the appropriateness, impact, and effectiveness of psychological interventions.

In this course, students explore the characteristics of quantitative methodology and examine their usefulness in conducting educational research. The methods discussed include causal-comparative, correlational, and experimental. Students learn how to state hypotheses, define and measure variables, select samples, collect and analyze data, and prepare research reports. Students design a research study on a topic related to learning and instruction. 06-09-2023-06-12-2023 Lecture Wednesday 01:00PM - 03:50PM, Robertson Library, Room 264

RAD 2110 introduces students to the fundamental principles of radiography positioning. In order to produce high quality radiographs, students must understand the importance of several radiographic principles including: patient position, part position, central ray(CR) direction, source to image distance(SID), object to image distance(OID), image receptor(IR) selection, and collimation.
Students will learn the basic steps of radiography and then apply these to radiography of the upper & lower limb, thoracic viscera and abdomen.
In addition to positioning principles, students will practice critically evaluating radiographs.
RAD 2110 involves a combination of both lectures and practice-based learning. Students will practice positioning principles during labs at the QEH. Students will also participate in image analysis sessions weekly.
