Abnormal Child Psychology

 

Welcome to Psych 2320B! 

Please read and keep this course outline handy, because it is an official document that contains important course information.

1.0 CALENDAR DESCRIPTION

This is a theory course designed to introduce the wide-ranging theories of developmental psychopathology in children and adolescents. Topics will include the major DSM diagnostic categories for childhood disorders, as well as research and treatment. The course orientation is empirical, with an emphasis on recent research findings with this population. 

 

Antirequisites: Psychology 2042A/B, Psychology 2043A/B, Psychology 3320F/G

 

Antirequisites are courses that overlap sufficiently in content that only one can be taken for credit. So if you take a course that is an antirequisite to a course previously taken, you will lose credit for the earlier course, regardless of the grade achieved in the most recent course.

 

Prerequisite: A mark of at least 60% in 1.0 credits of Psychology at the 1000 level.

 

Two lecture hours and one tutorial hour, 0.5 course.

 

Unless you have either the requisites for this course or written special permission from your Dean to enroll in it, you may be removed from this course and it will be deleted from your record. This decision may not be appealed. You will receive no adjustment to your fees in the event that you are dropped from a course for failing to have the necessary prerequisites.

3.0 TEXTBOOK

Mash, E.J. & Wolfe, D.A. (2019). Abnormal Child Psychology (7th ed.). Belmont, CA: Wadsworth, Cengage Learning.

4.0 COURSE OBJECTIVES

In this course, we will be examining the theories, methods, and key research findings in the area of personality psychology.

 

4.1 Teaching Approach

 

Learning is a collaborative and two-way process, and I hope to use this as a guiding philosophy for my teaching approach in this course. We are fortunate to be able to hold in-person classes this semester, and at the risk of suddenly having to go online again, we should make the most of this. I will do my best to encourage active and participatory learning within the boundaries of our course’s format. One of the strategies to achieve this via interactive learning, both during lecture and in tutorials. This includes the use of various learning tools I will be trying out over the semester. I would also love it if questions and comments are interspersed throughout the lectures, as this can help to enhance our learning. Hopefully we can all do our part to foster an engaged and empathic classroom environment for everyone.

 

4.2 Learning Tips

 

Below are some suggestions for scholastic behaviour that will help you achieve the most from this course. It is compiled based on evidence from educational psychology research, as well as my own undergraduate experience.

 

  • Stay up to date with course material by doing the readings in advance. Most of the course readings are textbook chapters. I might add some supplemental resources on OWL if necessary.
  • I encourage you to engage with the discussions and ask questions when necessary. Students who participate more in class usually tend to score higher grades.
  • Plan well and try to arrive on time. We may have some turbulent weather, so please try to give yourself plenty of time to arrive.
  • Please limit your use of technology for note-taking and e-learning tools. Opening social media in class can be distracting, both to yourself as well as other students. Sit towards the back of the room if you need to open several non-course-related tabs. If this behaviour is deemed disruptive, you may be asked to leave the classroom.
  • Here at Western, we are fortunate to have access to the resources we do. Student advocates have worked hard over many years to negotiate the myriad student resources covered by your tuition fees. If you find yourself struggling with issues that don’t necessarily require time off, you should still seek out help. The Student Development Centre website (sdc.uwo.ca) offers services for a range of different needs.

Syllabus Scavenger Hunt quiz.

4.4 Lecture Slides

I will try to post the Powerpoint slides before the lecture, unless unforeseen extenuating circumstances prevent me from doing so. The slides are a framework to help guide your understanding, and should not be the only tool you rely on for studying. In many cases, the content on the slides alone may not be sufficient to understand a concept, so listening and asking for clarification will be helpful.

Note: I am looking for some volunteer class note-takers. If anyone wants to volunteer to share their lecture notes, please get in touch with me.

4.5 Classroom Conduct and Management 

My goal in this class is to foster an engaging and empowering learning environment. In this class, we will discuss sensitive topics. It is important to have these conversations in a course like this, and to ask challenging questions in an intellectually honest way. In any case, I want this to be a safe learning environment for all, that responsibility falls on all of us. It’s ok to be passionate about a topic, but please don’t result to personally insulting each other.

Please do your best to arrive to class on time. Keep an eye on the weather and leave yourself plenty of time to get to campus, especially on exam days. In the event of inclement weather, the university itself decides whether classes continue or not (I don’t have control over that).

4.6 Communication

You will receive email at your @uwo.ca email address only. Changes to course scheduling (e.g., due to weather) and important information will be posted on the OWL course page. Please check the page regularly. Although OWL tends to send announcement notifications via email, those emails can frequently get filtered into the “other” category if you use a smart phone to receive the email. Please be aware of that and take steps to ensure that OWL notifications are given priority.

If you need to email the TAs or myself, please ensure that the subject of the email contains “Psychology 2720A” in the subject line, as well as your student number towards the end. It is also important that you keep the tone of the email respectful. For example, “Hey bruh, I don’t think I like you” or “Hey! Can u plz help” is unlikely to receive a response. In addition, if you need to meet with me, please indicate some days and times that would work best for you.

A good way to phrase your email would be: “Hi Hiten, I am still struggling with correlations. Specifically, I didn’t grasp how you evaluated the strength of a correlation, and what’s implication is. Could we meet to chat about this? I am available the following days and times.” 

Please be mindful that I receive many emails every day, and despite my best efforts it can take up to two business days respond. If I have not replied within two business days, please send a friendly reminder, or consider the tone of your previous email. It is best to contact me sooner rather than later for any matter.

 

5.0 EVALUATION

In this course, you will be evaluated based on:

  • Syllabus Scavenger Hunt Quiz – 1%
  • Tutorial Participation – 4%
  • Midterm Exam – 45%
  • Final Exam – 45%
  • Paper – 5%

 

Syllabus Scavenger Hunt Quiz – 1%

 

The syllabus serves as a “contract” for the course. As with any contract, it is important to read through and refer to when troubleshooting for certain information. In order to ensure that we are on the same page, a brief quiz on the syllabus’s contents will be posted on OWL. Questions will be multiple choice, and you must complete it online (you will need to have the syllabus handy for this). The main objective is to get you to troubleshoot the syllabus for key information, reward you for doing so! The quiz must be completed by 11.59 pm on Monday, January 24th, 2022. 

 

Tutorial Participation – 4%

 

The tutorials are facilitated by the TAs based on my guidance and designed to enhance collaborative learning in a small-classroom environment. Both attendance as well as the quality of your participation will be assessed through this course.

 

If the course is moved online, as is the case during January, the tutorials will be conducted via Zoom.

 

Paper – 5%

 

The purpose of this paper is to assess your ability to critically and empirically analyse applied examples of the course material. It is due in by 11.59 pm on Monday, March 28th, 2022. More details will be provided on OWL.

 

Midterm – 45%

 

Final Exam – 45%

 

The midterm and the final exam are based on material from the textbook as well as lecture. Each test will contain multiple choice questions assessing different learning outcomes (see section 4.3 above). The final exam is non-cumulative, although some general concepts we learn early on in the course may still be relevant in later topics. Section 7.0 of the syllabus details the content covered in each exam.  

 

The Midterm exam will be on February 15th, and the final exam will be held during the final exam period in April. As soon as we receive a date and time from the university, it will be announced.

 

5.1 POLICY ON MISSING COURSEWORK

 

Exams. Missing an exam without a legitimate medical or personal circumstance approved of by your academic counselor (see https://counselling.ssc.uwo.ca/about_us/appointments.html) will result in a 0. If you have to miss for a legitimate, documented reason, a makeup exam will be scheduled with either myself or a TA.

 

Syllabus Scavenger Hunt Quiz. If you miss the syllabus quiz deadline without documented reasons as outlined above, you will receive a grade of 0. If you have a documented reason, I will schedule an alternative date that everyone with a documented reason can do it on. If you still need to miss it for a documented reason, the 1% will be re-distributed to the final exam.

 

Paper. Missing the deadline for paper submission without proper documentation as referenced to above will result in a 10% penalty per day late. If you have a documented reason, alternate due dates will be arranged on a case-by-case basis.

 

Tutorials. A small make-up assignment will be assigned in the case of a missed in-person tutorial. These make-up assignments will be due on OWL by 4 pm on the Monday following the tutorial. Details will be explained in tutorial and posted on OWL.

 

The expectation for course grades within the Psychology Department is that they will be distributed around the following averages:

 

70%     1000-level to 2099-level courses

72%     2100-2999-level courses

75%     3000-level courses

80%     4000-level courses

 

The Psychology Department follows Western’s grading guidelines, which are as follows (see: http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/pdf/academic_policies/general/grades_undergrad.pdf)

A+       90-100             One could scarcely expect better from a student at this level

A         80-89               Superior work that is clearly above average

B         70-79               Good work, meeting all requirements, and eminently satisfactory

C         60-69               Competent work, meeting requirements

D         50-59               Fair work, minimally acceptable

F          below 50         Fail

 

Note that in the event that course grades are significantly higher or lower than these averages, instructors may be required to make adjustments to course grades. Such adjustment might include the normalization of one or more course components and/or the re-weighting of various course components.

Policy on Grade Rounding: Please note that although course grades within the Psychology Department are rounded to the nearest whole number, no further grade rounding will be done. No additional assignments will be offered to enhance a final grade; nor will requests to change a grade because it is needed for a future program be considered. To maximize your grade, do your best on each and every assessment within the course.

8.0 Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that Western University is located on the traditional lands of the Anishinaabek, Haudenosaunee, Lūnaapéewak and Attawandaron peoples, on lands connected with the London Township and Sombra Treaties of 1796 and the Dish with One Spoon Covenant Wampum.

 

With this, we respect the longstanding relationships that Indigenous Nations have to this land, as they are the original caretakers. We acknowledge historical and ongoing injustices that Indigenous Peoples (e.g. First Nations, Métis and Inuit) endure in Canada, and we accept responsibility as a public institution to contribute toward revealing and correcting miseducation, as well as renewing respectful relationships with Indigenous communities through our teaching, research and community service.

 

9.0 STATEMENT ON ACADEMIC OFFENCES

Students are responsible for understanding the nature and avoiding the occurrence of plagiarism and other scholastic offences. Plagiarism and cheating are considered very serious offences because they undermine the integrity of research and education. Actions constituting a scholastic offence are described at the following link: http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/pdf/academic_policies/appeals/scholastic_discipline_undergrad.pdf

 

As of Sept. 1, 2009, the Department of Psychology will take the following steps to detect scholastic offences. All multiple-choice tests and exams will be checked for similarities in the pattern of responses using reliable software, and records will be made of student seating locations in all tests and exams. All written assignments will be submitted to TurnItIn, a service designed to detect and deter plagiarism by comparing written material to over 5 billion pages of content located on the Internet or in TurnItIn’s databases. All papers submitted for such checking will be included as source documents in the reference database for the purpose of detecting plagiarism of papers subsequently submitted to the system. Use of the service is subject to the licensing agreement, currently between Western and Turnitin.com (http://www.turnitin.com).

 

Computer-marked multiple-choice tests and/or exams will be subject to submission for similarity review by software that will check for unusual coincidences in answer patterns that may indicate cheating.

 

In classes that involve the use of a personal response system (PRS), data collected using the PRS will only be used in a manner consistent to that described in this outline. It is the instructor’s responsibility to make every effort to ensure that data remain confidential. However, students should be aware that as with all forms of electronic communication, privacy is not guaranteed. Your PRS login credentials are for your sole use only. Students attempting to use another student’s credentials to submit data through the PRS may be subject to academic misconduct proceedings.

 

Possible penalties for a scholastic offence include failure of the assignment/exam, failure of the course, suspension from the University, and expulsion from the University.

 

10.0 POLICY ON THE USE OF EXAM PROCTORING SOFTWARE

 

When examinations and tests cannot be given in person (e.g., in courses coded as Distance Studies; in the event of a lockdown order), they may be conducted using either a monitoring platform such as Zoom or a remote proctoring service, such as Proctorio. If Zoom is used for exam invigilation, you will be required to keep your camera on for the entire session, hold up your student card for identification purposes, and share your screen with the invigilator if asked to do so at any time during the exam. The exam session using Zoom will not be recorded.*

 

If a remote proctoring service is used, the service will require you to provide personal information (including some biometric data). The session will be recorded. The instructor will alert you to the use of this software as close as possible to the start of the term, however, in the event that in-person exams are unexpectedly canceled, you may only be given notice of the use of a proctoring service a short time in advance. More information about remote proctoring is available in the Online Proctoring Guidelines. Please ensure you are familiar with any proctoring service’s technical requirements before the exam. Additional guidance is available at the following link: https://www.uwo.ca/univsec/pdf/onlineproctorguidelines.pdf

 

* Please note that Zoom servers are located outside Canada. If you would prefer to use only your first name or a nickname to login to Zoom, please provide this information to the instructor in advance of the test or examination. See this link for technical requirements: https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us  

 

11.0      POLICY ON ACCOMMODATION FOR ILLNESS OR OTHER ABSENCES

 

Western’s policy on Accommodation for Medical Illness can be found at:
http://www.westerncalendar.uwo.ca/PolicyPages.cfm?PolicyCategoryID=1&Command=showCategory&SelectedCalendar=Live&ArchiveID=#Page_12

 

The full policy for consideration for absences can be accessed at: https://www.uwo.ca/univsec/pdf/academic_policies/appeals/Academic_Consideration_for_absences.pdf

If you experience an extenuating circumstance (e.g., illness, injury) sufficiently significant to temporarily make you unable to meet academic requirements, you may request accommodation through the following routes:

  1. Submitting a Self-Reported Absence form (for circumstances that are expected to resolve within 48 hours);
  2. For medical absences, submitting a Student Medical Certificate (SMC) signed by a licensed medical or mental health practitioner in order to be eligible for Academic Consideration;
  • For non-medical absences, submitting appropriate documentation (e.g., obituary, police report, accident report, court order, etc.) to Academic Counselling in their Faculty of registration in order to be eligible for academic consideration. Students are encouraged to contact their Academic Counselling unit to clarify what documentation is appropriate.

 

Students must see the Academic Counsellor and submit all required documentation in order to be approved for certain accommodation. The self-reported absence form must be submitted before the exam/coursework deadline in order to be valid. It may NOT be used for absences longer than 48 hours; coursework/tests/exams/etc., worth more than 30% of the final grade; or exams scheduled in the December or April final-exam periods: http://counselling.ssc.uwo.ca/procedures/medical_accommodation.html

 

Students seeking academic consideration:

  • are advised to consider carefully the implications of postponing tests or midterm exams or delaying handing in work;  
  • are encouraged to make appropriate decisions based on their specific circumstances, recognizing that minor ailments (upset stomach) or upsets (argument with a friend) are not normally an appropriate basis for a self-reported absence;
  • must communicate with their instructors no later than 24 hoursafter the end of the period covered by either the self-reported absence or SMC, or immediately upon their return following a documented absence

 

Students seeking accommodation for religious purposes are advised to contact Academic Counselling at least three weeks prior to the religious event and as soon as possible after the start of the term.

 

12.0 Contingency Plan for Return to Lockdown: IN-Person & Blended classes

In the event of a COVID-19 resurgence or any other event that necessitates the course delivery moving away from face-to-face interaction, all remaining course content will be delivered entirely online, either synchronously (i.e., at the times indicated in the timetable) or asynchronously (e.g., posted on OWL for students to view at their convenience). The grading scheme will not change. Any remaining assessments will also be conducted online, as determined by the course instructor.

 

13.0 STATEMENTS CONCERNING ONLINE ETIQUETTE

In courses involving online interactions, the Psychology Department expects students to honour the following rules of etiquette:

  • please “arrive” to class on time
  • please use your computer and/or laptop if possible (as opposed to a cell phone or tablet)
  • please ensure that you are in a private location to protect the confidentiality of discussions in the event that a class discussion deals with sensitive or personal material
  • to minimize background noise, kindly mute your microphone for the entire class until you are invited to speak, unless directed otherwise
  • In classes larger than 30 participants please turn off your video camera for the entire class unless you are invited to speak
  • In classes of 30 students or fewer, where video chat procedures are being used, please be prepared to turn your video camera off at the instructor’s request if the internet connection becomes unstable
  • Unless invited by your instructor, do not share your screen in the meeting

 

The course instructor will act as moderator for the class and will deal with any questions from participants. To participate please consider the following:

  • If you wish to speak, use the “raise hand” function and wait for the instructor to acknowledge you before beginning your comment or question.
  • Please remember to unmute your microphone and turn on your video camera before speaking.
  • Self-identify when speaking.
  • Please remember to mute your mic and turn off your video camera after speaking (unless directed otherwise).

 

General considerations of “netiquette”:

  • Keep in mind the different cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the students in the course.
  • Be courteous toward the instructor, your colleagues, and authors whose work you are discussing.
  • Be respectful of the diversity of viewpoints that you will encounter in the class and in your readings. The exchange of diverse ideas and opinions is part of the scholarly environment. “Flaming” is never appropriate.
  • Be professional and scholarly in all online postings. Use proper grammar and spelling. Cite the ideas of others appropriately.

 

Note that disruptive behaviour of any type during online classes, including inappropriate use of the chat function, is unacceptable. Students found guilty of Zoom-bombing a class or of other serious online offenses may be subject to disciplinary measures under the Code of Student Conduct.
