TMS is still under investigation. It is being studied for all sorts of
disorders, from learning disability to depression. It definitely
produces an effect on
brain function, but this is temporary and likely produces no permanent
effects or injury. However, treatments for depression sounds lik

No AP in Canada. And I must say I like it that way. You take college courses in

Interesting discussion as we just had a departmental meeting yesterday. We
used to give credit for a 3 or higher, but now only give credit for scoring
a 5. There's a lot of sentiment among faculty, however, to revisit that
decision and maybe not give any credit at all. We're seeing students scoring
I suspect that there's a lot of variation.
Thinking back to the distant past when my kids were in high school, some of the
high school math teachers teaching AP math had barely as much math as they were
teaching.
Remember, a teaching degree in math education can require fewer actual math

I'm not at AP-affiliated Tipster (but I have a colleague who is) and I don't
see much problem with the AP system as far as giving credit for college classes

The time course of effect of the treatment would be relevant here.

I'd also like to know the answer to that question but I'd change it slightly
to, "Is 33% a typical spontaneous remission rate among those who are
treatment-resistant?"

Another issue that I felt deserved a separate reply: Do we want to in the more
traditional educational settings say that degrees from for-profit schools are
not allowed for people at state and private non-profit schools. That the
philosophy of education is so different between the two systems t
As others have said, this issue is popping up in our applicant pools. We had
discussions of applicants who had online degrees (not necessarily UoP) and some
on the committee argued for rejection on its face because of lack of trust of
such degrees while others (myself) argued that you have to lo
Very funny take on some comments made during the presidential debate. I think
it is psychology and teaching related as it relates to the wonderful creativity

I use Moodle all the time for all my classes. Overall, I like it less well than

customized to the liking of your university/college if you have the IT
resources to do so.

We just had a discussion about that when we were hiring. We deemed such a

I agree. We have had several applicants with on-line degrees (Ph.D. or Psy.D.).
Without even getting into comparison of quality of programs, I have typically
not seen any publication or presentation record. If you're applying for an
academic position, this is a distinct drawback.

I was just reading an article about TMS. The article, from Science Daily,

I would think that GRE success would be particularly important here. Many

competitive with other applicants. GREs provide that.
Just my $.02.
Hi Michael. As I understand it, APA will not accredit a fully on-line
doctoral program, so none of the PhD programs at Phoenix have APA
accreditation. If your listener were applying for a job to a traditional

One of my listeners is currently getting her BA in psych from UoP and was

worried about how these degrees from UoP will be looked upon by traditional
schools when she goes applying for jobs. I have to admit I might be more
