PSYC 500 - Developmental Psychopathology
PSYC 500 - Developmental Psychopathology is a capstone class in the Psychology Major at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Students will have opportunities to review the evidence on different Wikipedia pages, comparing it to information from:
 * their textbook;
 * peer reviewed journal articles and meta-analyses, and
 * official sites of professional organizations and government agencies.

When students identify information that would be a valuable, credible addition or change to the page, they will draft a proposed edit in their account sandbox and invite comment on the talk pages. Making the proposed changes to the article is not a required part of the assignment, however if feedback is positive and productive, we will explore doing so in an ungraded capacity.

Our area of concentration this semester will be evidence based assessment of common mental health disorders.

Looking forward to it! Prof. Eric A. Youngstrom (talk) 20:01, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
