Department of Family Social Science
Taught multiple sections of the upper-level undergraduate Family Psychology course. Using a family systems lens

This University-designated writing intensive course used a variety of formal and informal iterative writing assignments to help students: (a) learn to succinctly synthesize theory and scholarly evidence to defend a thesis and draw conclusions; (b) identify and write critically about family systems and other relational dynamics; (c) translate principles of Family Systems Theory for diverse audiences.
