MESSAGES TO YOU

General         
            I am always looking for students interested in working in my lab. To get an idea about on-going projects in my lab, visit my Lab and Research Page. Please, contact me at your convenience. Each student who is interested in research with children with autism is required to enroll in an internship first (PSY 594: Internship). If you then wish to continue with an Independent Studies course (also PSY 594: Independent Studies), you have to take a free, on-line computer-based training course (to teach you about the ethical and safe treatment of human subjects) and get a certificate before you are allowed to begin your Independent Studies course. In order to get your certificate, go to https://www.citiprogram.org/default.asp?language=english and follow the on-screen instructions. The course is offered by the Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative (CITI).

            Ask me for syllabi, if you don't have one. If you have questions about deadlines, assignments, grades, exams, etc., please, call me at (718) 982-4082 (you can leave a voice mail message 24/7) or email me at ploog@mail.csi.cuny.edu.
