Class Details

This course gives students two opportunities do to a full-time placement during winter study either in a hospital, mental health or social service agency, legal firm, industry, consulting, or research setting in which work of a psychological nature is done, or in a classroom at Mt. Greylock Regional High School or at Williamstown Elementary School. For the former, during the fall semester, students are responsible for locating their own potential placements and consulting with the course instructor about the suitability of the placement before the winter study registration period. Students should provide the course instructor with a brief description of the proposed placement, noting its relevance to psychology, and the name of the agency supervisor. Before Thanksgiving break, the student must provide a letter from the agency supervisor which describes the agency, and the student’s role and responsibilities during winter study. For the latter (school placements), those accepted will work under the supervision of a regular member of the teaching staff and submit a report on their work at the end of the Winter Study Period. This project involves a four-week commitment to full-time affiliation with the school. Before winter study registration, interested students should consult with Professor Savitsky, Bronfman 389. He will assist in arranging placements and monitor students’ progress during the four-week period.
