[tips] New? Course
Our department is working on developing a new (for us) course to cover those topics all of get asked, including: What can I do with my degree in Psychology? What graduate programs are there? How do I go about applying to graduate school? What do I need to apply? What careers are available? and most of the others you can think of. We are thinking about a 2-credit course required of all majors, to be taken sometime before the senior year. If any of you have such courses, I would appreciate any syllabi, information, etc. that will help use avoid the pitfalls. We are particularly looking to have the course be an one-line course, so any help or sage advice (don’t do it?) along those lines would be extremely useful.

Re: [tips] New? Course
I would also be interested. We don't have such a class but have discussed it. We encourage students to seek advice from faculty and attend various seminars given on such topics by admissions and our university's Career/Planning Placement Office. In addition, the Psych department holds an annual Career/Grad school preparation seminar every Fall (this week actually). We have alumni talk, guest speakers, and faculty present info on their areas or careers. We provide handouts on careers, what our graduates do, etc. I typically coordinate and emcee, and try to leave time for student questions at the end. It is usually well attended and students appreciate it, but it is not required and does require student initiative. Take stock of what/where your students go after graduation?! G.L.

Re: [tips] New? Course
Joel, UWF does a 1 sh course (careers in Psychology) as an online course. It is intended for students at the beginning of the major (a 2000-level course). It had 10 modules, ranging from advising (meeting graduation requirements for the major, disciplinary skills (an introduction to writing in APAstyle, exploring different areas in psychology), professional ethical issues (what is required before claiming competency to serve in a therapeutic role), preparation for graduate school and exploration of the job market (with a BA/BS, an MA, or a Ph.D.). I describe the structure of this course in a chapter in *Teaching Critical Thinking in Psychology *(Dunn et al., 2008). Deb Briihl describes a senior-level capstone course in the same chapter. I haven't taught the course in some time. Joan Duer now teaches the course ( jd...@uwf.edu). One of the greatest challenges in doing this online is keeping the students engaged and on task. Too many students think they can procrastinate and do the entire course in a few weeks. The good part about doing it online is that you can adopt a mastery approach and require students to complete short quizzes (e.g., on graduation requirements, ethics) until they achieve a target level of skill. We set up a number of quizzes that students took repeatedly until they achieved the target score. Claudia _ Claudia J.

Re: [tips] New? Course
We have both of these types of classes at Frostburg State. In fact, Bill Southerly has taught them both! He's very busy and may not have seen this, so I'll get his attention and also ask the current instructor to see if they are willing to share syllabuses.

Re: [tips] New? Course
Hi Joel: We do a course like this at ASU. It is a 1-hour course called Careers in Psychology in which we help the beginning psych major review career posibilities, identify a career goal, and then plan their courses to go towards that goal. I see only a subgroup, those headed towards graduate school, but they contact me early, seeking lab/research experiences. I will pass along your email to the person who runs this program but we are headed into Spring registration and she is very busy. She has each student develop an extended notebook to plan his/her career here. I see many of the students relying on these materials and we have about a 1000 majors. Ken --- Kenneth M.
