Class description

The goal of this class is to provide an informal forum in which students can be introduced to the UW psychology community and trained in professionalization, ethics and future careers.

Students will obtain multiple perspectives on research, scientific integrity and career development from members of the UW community and beyond. 

Student learning goals

General method of instruction

Most of the classes will involve a free form discussion though some more formal lectures on topics like time management, grant-writing, professional ethics, lab management and how to give a good talk will also be offered.

Recommended preparation

Most classes are mandatory for first year students (listed as M, below)

This year we will allow non-first years to attend some classes (listed as OPEN, below). Please email me if you are a non-first year who plans to attend so I have some idea of how many cookies to get in.

Class assignments and grading

Each week students are required to submit either: 1. a question that they asked in class 2. a question they didn't get to ask in class 3. a comment on that week's discussion


The information above is intended to be helpful in choosing courses. Because the instructor may further develop his/her plans for this course, its characteristics are subject to change without notice. In most cases, the official course syllabus will be distributed on the first day of class.
