PSY 626 Final Project Milestone Two Guidelines and Rubric
Prompt: For this milestone, take your case report from PSY 622 and develop a psychological assessment report. This milestone should fulfill Part VI of the final project:
VI. Psychological Assessment Report A. Prepare a psychological assessment report that demonstrates use of objective testing data. B. How do classic and contemporary psychology theories support the claims you have made in your diagnostic consultation?
Make sure your assessment report accounts for the many possible avenues for gathering evidence in legal situations. You will likely rely on memory in some way, so make sure to discuss any limitations that you will bring to your assessment report. If possible, include measures that you learned about in your previous courses as protective mechanisms against the use of memory. Also, make sure you explain why you are using the assessments you selected. This information is often very important should the report be used in a legal proceeding. Note: Do not simply cut and paste your assessment choices from PSY 622. Incorporate the feedback given to you in that course and expand or change your assessment choices in order to best fit the current scenario. Remember you were hired by a law firm to create the final report. Guidelines for Submission: You should submit a well-developed psychological assessment report for the case study client from PSY 622. Your paper must be submitted as a 2–3 page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and sources cited in APA format. Instructor Feedback: This activity uses an integrated rubric in Blackboard. Students can view instructor feedback in the Grade Center. For more information, review these instructions.
