My current courses for the Spring 2024 Semester are listed below:
• Statistics: PSY 211 (Undergraduate): This course is designed to help you to learn the basics of statistical procedures as they apply to the behavioral sciences. We start off by considering simple statistical procedures that allow you to describe your data succinctly and accurately. We then turn to more complex statistical procedures that allow you to infer cause-and-effect relationships among variables. Another aim of this course is to increase your ability to use computers as tools in psychology. Students are trained in, and are expected to develop some degree of mastery of, the use of a microcomputer as a tool in analyzing data. Laboratory exercises have been designed to give you this experience.
• Brain Injury and Concussion: PSY 270/NSC 370 (Undergraduate): Brain Injury and Concussion will immerse students in specific areas within the field neuropsychology, the study of human brain-behavior relationships. Emphasis will be placed on traumatic brain injury (TBI), including moderate-to-severe injuries, as well as mild TBI or concussion. The course will focus on research related to how individuals sustain and recover from moderate-to-severe TBI as well as mild TBI/concussion in youth, collegiate, and professional athletes, with an emphasis on how athletes sustain concussions, how concussions are assessed, treated, and managed, and how return-to-play decision are made. This course will introduce students to research in the field of neuropsychology through primary source material in the field in the form of book chapters and journal articles.
• Research Seminar in Exp. Psych: PSY 491 (Undergraduate): The Research Seminar in Experimental Psychology will immerse you in specific areas within the field psychology, with an emphasis on how research is conceptualized and conducted, how data are collected, analyzed, interpreted, and documented. This course will introduce you to research in the field of psychology through primary source material in the field in the form of book chapters and journal articles, and you will generate a unique research proposal consistent with the field psychology as well as the guidelines of the American Psychological Association.
