This course provides students with an opportunity to learn about the foundational theory and practices in psychological assessment of adults and begins with an examination of the nature and limitations of psychological assessment through an in-depth review of psychometric theory. Students are then provided with a survey of prominent approaches to the assessment of various psychological constructs including intelligence, personality (objective and projective), and mental health symptoms. A critically informed analysis of the role, benefits and costs of psychological assessment and diagnosis is undertaken. An emphasis on issues related to psychological assessment with diverse populations is present throughout the course. Students receive hands-on instruction in the administration, scoring and interpretation of major psychological measures used with adults (e.g., tests of intelligence, academic achievement, personality and mental health). Within the context of conducting rigorous and comprehensive assessments, students are also introduced to the concept of "formulation", namely how clinical psychologists draw on theory and key empirical findings to examine a client's or family's problems, how they arose and what may currently be holding them in place. Moreover, the importance of considering cultural and individual differences when assessing clients is examined. Ethical issues that may arise when working with adults in an assessment context are explored. 07-09-2023-21-12-2023 Lecture Thursday 02:30PM - 05:20PM, Robertson Library, Room 210

This is a 12 semester-hour course required of all Honours students. It is intended to provide the student with an opportunity to design, carry out, evaluate and write up a research project in an approved scientific fashion, while working under the direction of a chief advisor assisted by an advisory committee. Normally the research will be done during the summer session preceding the student's graduating year, and the thesis written during the final academic year. The objective of this course is to provide research experience for the student who intends to take up further studies at a post-graduate level or for the student who is planning on entering a career where research experience in Biology or related areas would be an asset. Restriction: Student must be accepted to the Honours program in Biology. NOTE: To receive credit for this course, Biology 4901 and Biology 4902 must be completed consecutively in one academic year. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Seminar Days to be Announced, Times to be Announced, Room to be Announced

A capstone laboratory course designed to integrate and augment the content of previous chemistry courses in organic, in- organic, physical and analytical chemistry. Students will select and carry out a number of short projects which are developed by faculty members in the various areas of Chemistry. Students will be evaluated on their development of experimental procedures based on the chemical literature, scientific record-keeping, and preparation of reports. Six hours laboratory and one hour seminar a week. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12:30PM - 01:20PM, Irving Chemistry Ctr, Room 104

This course provides students with an opportunity to gain advanced understanding of psychotherapy approaches that fall within the cognitive and behavioural paradigms. Students learn to apply fundamental techniques to a range of clinical issues across the lifespan. The course emphasizes well-established approaches as well as emerging interventions that have gained prominence and research support. Basic skills are developed through a range of assigned readings and class presentations. Basic intervention skills are taught didactically and practiced during recorded practice sessions. Students gain experience in interventions aimed at modifying thinking, beliefs and behaviours. Integration of emerging approaches and techniques such as those that emphasize mindfulness and virtual-reality-assisted psychotherapy will be undertaken. Implications of cultural and individual diversities for application of behavioural, cognitive, and related approaches are explored.

The purpose of this course is to help students gain a theoretical, practical and critical understanding of qualitative research methodology, and to teach skills for the execution of research projects based upon qualitative data. Qualitative research is research that focuses upon understanding, rather than predicting or controlling phenomena. Nine different paradigms of qualitative research methodology, their implications, and applications, are examined in this course. These paradigms are: data display, grounded theory, phenomenology, ethnography, psychobiography and historiography, psychoanalytic approaches, narrative psychology, hermeneutics and textual deconstruction, and social constructivism. Political and ethical issues are also highlighted in order to problematize and promote more critically informed inquiry. Lecture/Tutorial: Three hours a week. 11-09-2023-18-12-2023 Lecture Monday 04:30PM - 07:20PM, SDU Main Bldg, Room 320

This course studies the prevailing currents in American Literature over the course of the Twentieth Century. Students examine a range of literary developments such as modernism, the Harlem Renaissance, the Beat Generation, and postmodernism. Through these movements, American writers responded to an era defined by profound upheaval and cultural transformation, including global economic depression, two world wars, the rise of the nuclear age, and the ensuing counter-cultural revolution. Writers to be studied may include F. Scott Fitzgerld, William Faulkner, Zora Neale Hurston, J.D. Salinger, Don DeLillo, and Toni Morrison. 06-09-2023-22-12-2023 Lecture Monday, Wednesday, Friday 12:30PM - 01:20PM, Young Sports Ctr, Room 212
