Requesting help with a Pilot Study	[14 Feb 2010\|09:35pm]
Hi Everyone!I am hoping that some of you out there might be willing to help me out. I'm currently putting together a pilot of some questions for use in a major project I have coming up. Although I will be putting together a more formal pilot soon, I am hoping to get some responses and maybe feedback sooner. The survey will take around 10 minutes and is entirely multiple choice. We are hoping to get a sense of mock jurors' perceptions of child witnesses in criminal cases.If you would like more information, to take a look, or are willing to help me with this pilot, you can find the survey below.Thank you to anyone willing to help out! Click here to take survey EDIT: Apologies for the crappy HTML link...not sure why it looks wierd ><

How does one go about getting an approved supervisor for an LPC license in Oklahoma?	[14 Jun 2009\|01:34am]
[ mood \| confused ] I'm a master's level counselor moving to Oklahoma, and I'm a bit confused about how to go about getting an approved supervisor. Do I just start sending letters to people on the approved supervisor list? Or do most people get an approved supervisor at their jobsites? Most jobs require candidates to be "under supervision," so is it usual for LPC candidates to have a supervisor outside of their workplace?

Hey everyone! I am so confused on this question. I can do well with t-tests, but this one just doesn't feel familiar to anything I've been learning in stats, or rather I can decide which method to use. In my study group, we decided to use a z-score bcuz the mean is given as well as standard deviation of .25. I just don't understand this other distribution crap! Do I use a z-core, or conduct a z-test??Please help.The question is as follows:For the past year I have spent about 4.00adayforlunch,giveortakeaquarterorso.If,withoutlookingatthebill,Ipaidformylunchwitha4.00 a day for lunch, give or take a quarter or so.If, without looking at the bill, I paid for my lunch with a 4.00adayforlunch,giveortakeaquarterorso.If,withoutlookingatthebill,Ipaidformylunchwitha5 bill and received .75inchange,shouldIworrythatIwasovercharged?WhyorWhynot?ShouldIworryaboutbeingoverchargedifthebillis.75 in change, should I worry that I was overcharged?

Question for MFT interns and LMFT	[17 Feb 2009\|02:41pm]
Hello,I am currently living in Southern California and working on my masters in marriage and family therapy. I am a little bit discouraged about how the job market it not the greatest for MFTs and how little we get paid initially.I was wondering if there are any MFTs out there who live in Los Angeles County who could tell me about their experiences finding jobs, how fulfilling they are, and whether or not they now regret spending the time (and money) in obtaining the degree?Thanks so much!

Grad School Name	[21 Apr 2008\|03:05pm]
Hi, I am a graduating senior, heading to a PsyD program next year. It is part of a lesser known university which I think is a positive, as opposed to a freestanding school or professional psych school....My question is, does it really matter where I go to school? I am a little bit of a school brand snob so I am not sure if it matters, or if I am just worrying too much about the name. Thanks!!

first year experiences	[09 Apr 2008\|08:48am]
Hi all! So, I'm beyond excited that I was recently accepted into my #1 choice grad school(an MA program in Clinical-Counseling)! YaY me! I'd like to begin mentally preparing myself. I realize everyone has a different experience but I'm curious about the first year of grad school. And unlike with my undergrad degree, I'd like to start off on the right foot. I now know this means seeking advice from other students in the program (because advisers can have very skewed senses of a student reality). So, I'm hoping some of you can share your experience with me and maybe offer some helpful advice too :) Was your program what you expected? What kinds of things did you struggle with? What did you really like? Was it hard to get into the swing of things? Did you have to balance work and school? Any and all info/advice is appreciated. Thanks!
