Proseminars
The Proseminars (Series 600) include four units of Case Review and one unit of Business Review. Case Review Proseminars are scheduled six times per trimester (five hours per session), while the Business Review Proseminar is held four times per trimester (four hours per session). The Proseminars parallel the Practicums (Series 700), during which time students share their work with faculty and colleague-students for feedback and guidance.
601 Case Review: Behavioral Analysis (2 units)
This Behavioral Analysis proseminar parallels the 701 Practicum, to be completed by students in their own professional environments. Students meet in groups of ten, for 5-hour sessions, to present their challenging cases. Each student is expected to record four behavioral analyses with clients during the first half of the second trimester and to present them during the proseminar to be conducted during the second half of the trimester. Students send their recording files to the other students and to the proseminar leader for their review, in advance of the next scheduled proseminar session.
602 Case Review: Behavior Modification (2 units)
This Behavior Modification proseminar parallels the 703 Practicum, to be completed by students in their own professional environments. Students meet in groups of ten, for six 5-hour sessions, to present their challenging cases. Each student is expected to record four behavioral learning sessions with clients during the first half of the second trimester and to present them during the proseminar to be conducted during the second half of the trimester. Students send their recording files to the other students and to the proseminar leader for their review, in advance of the next scheduled proseminar session.
603 Business Review: Plan Evaluations (1 unit)
The business plans, marketing plans, and any marketing materials previously prepared by students while taking the business courses, along with any interim results concerning the implementation of their plans, will be circulated among eight to ten colleague students. Over the course of four three-hour sessions, each student will have the opportunity to present the details of their plan, to answer questions from the seminar participants, and to obtain feedback from the seminar leader and colleague students. In subsequent sessions, students will discuss the ongoing results of the implementation of their plans, along with proposed revisions based on peer feedback, client feedback, and economic outcomes.
