  • Rare course taught by Dillion Browne, take it if you see in course selection as it's only run every few years. Marking scheme consisted of weekly discussions (17%), SONA (3%), 2 online, open-book, unlimited time tests (20% each), a midterm assignment, where you practice active listening skills (20%), and a final case study assignment (20%), based on the mock family therapy he performs in class with real actors. over the course of 6-7 weeks. The mock therapy is incredibly interesting to see and was the highlight of the course.
    Overall, easy 90+ and long lasting impressions.
