New Self-Paced Comp. Sci. Class for Non-Majors
I am offering a new introductory computer science
course for non-majors. This course is unusual in that it is self-paced
and "mastery-based". This means that students can earn 1, 2 or 3
credits, depending on how fast they move through the
material. They won't move to the next step until it they have mastered
the current one. In this way, we hope to enable people without a
computing background to succeed where they might have otherwise been
intimidated by the fast-paced technical culture of
computing.
Please see the attached flyer or visit the course website for more details:

from our helpers-in-training.

EDCP 619 CLIENT VOLUNTEER FORM
Summer II 2013
What to expect as a volunteer client?
You are being asked to volunteer for a counseling experience
with a master’s level student from the Navy LEAD program. This counseling
experience will involve meeting with one graduate student counselor up to five
sessions to discuss one or more concerns you have regarding your academic,
career, personal or social experiences. The sessions will take place at 2150
Biology-Psychology Building, each session will be about 40 to 45 minutes.
Each session will be audiotaped so that the graduate student
and her/his supervisor can review the counseling sessions to evaluate the
graduate student's use of counseling skills. The confidentiality of your
session with your counselor is guaranteed by both counseling ethics and federal
laws governing privacy. The tapes made by the student counselor will be erased
at the semester's conclusion. In
addition to participating in the sessions, you will be asked to complete brief
measures after each session, and a demographic questionnaire prior to the first
session.
In the past, these counseling sessions have not only
provided helpful experience for the counselor trainees, but also for the
students who volunteer as clients. If you've never been in a counseling
experience before, this is a good way to learn about it. You are free to
discuss whatever academic, career, or social concerns you may have. If you feel
that you have difficulties in your life that may require a longer period of
counseling, or a professional with more experience, you may be referred to the
Counseling Center in the Shoemaker Building. You should not participate if
you are currently seeing a counselor or therapist, as this could interfere with
an existing treatment plan.
For each completed session, you will be reimbursed $25 for
your time. We expect our volunteers to show up on time and prepare a topic for
discussion in each session. Examples of topics may include interpersonal
conflicts, life transitions, choosing a major/career path, school-life balance,
romantic relationship issues, past/recent stressful events, etc.
Please complete the form on the next page if you are
willing to volunteer and commit to
this experience. Return the completed form to: Katherine Ross, Department of
Counseling, Higher Education, and Special Education (CHSE), 3214 Benjamin Building
or email the content of that form to klross@umd.edu and keep this page for
future reference.
