DESCRIPTION
The purpose of this course is to assist students in developing basic listening, reflecting
and interviewing skills. Since skills training is most effective when students are active
participants, the course will be devoted to providing opportunities for students to practice
role-plays and various exercises. Students will also videotape their interviews as a means
to reflect upon and critique their skill development. Students who enroll in this course
are expected to actively participate in role-play sessions. As such, students are expected
to maintain complete confidentiality and demonstrate professional and ethical conduct
during class and interviewing activities. Students will also be asked to sign a contract
with respect to care of counselling videotapes, and will be asked to erase/destroy all tapes
once the course is completed.
COURSE OBJECTIVES
This course is intended to give students the opportunity to develop and enhance their
ability to be empathetic with others. Students will be assessed on their ability to achieve
