PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION PSYCHOLOGY 515/525 George Camp    Purpose  This course is designed to introduce you to individual, psychological, clinical evaluation techniques.  It will focus on intelligence assessment, but the principles and approaches will generalize through subsequent courses to other behavioral domains.  It is assumed that you will receive additional instruction and practicum supervision prior to using intelligence or other techniques with clients.  OBJECTIVES AND EVALUATION OF YOUR WORK 1. You will become knowledgeable about and be able to discuss historical and current theories regarding intelligence, the inferential bases of intelligence, issues of cultural bias in intelligence assessment, and issues in exceptional child evaluation.  You’ll be given feed-back regarding your discussions of these topics through our mid-term and final learning activities essays.  2. You will learn how to carry out psychometrically sound analyses of the instruments you administer and about the limitations of such analyses.  The analyses you do in preparing to write reports will each be reviewed for correctness of procedure.  3. You will learn basic psychological report formats and develop your report writing skills.  You will receive constructive feedback on each of the reports you write.  4. You will learn to administer and score selected intelligence tests according to standardized procedures.  We will observe you administering and provide structured feedback regarding each of the selected tests.  We will check (and correct) your scoring on all the test protocols you turn in.
