PA 732 - Comprehensive III


This course is designed to prepare students for the written and oral comprehensive exams. The comprehensive exams are designed to sample the knowledge, skills, and dispositions appropriate to a graduate of a doctoral training program and to review and solidify the learning that has taken place throughout the program. Activities include readings from seminal books and articles in behavior analysis and other psychologies, review of articles from previous courses, and discussion of philosophical, ethical, theoretical, conceptual and pragmatic issues in behavior analysis. Students will practice answering comprehensive-style questions in both written and oral format, defending answers orally, and critiquing various answers. (1 credit)
