PSYC 54.06 Dementia

The goal of the course is to learn about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias from a variety of perspectives.  This will occur in two ways: (1) traditional classroom activities, including lectures, readings, videos, and discussions; and (2) weekly meetings with a person with dementia and a close family member. Through these methods, you will come to appreciate the lived experience of this devastating condition.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
