Objectives
of the Seminar:
1)
To
introduce graduate students to the multidisciplinary aspects of craniofacial
speech anomalies relative to diagnosis, treatment, and research. Focus of the
seminar will be on individuals with repaired cleft lip and palate.
2)
To
introduce graduate students to clinical knowledge needed to provide effective
services to individuals with repaired cleft palate and other craniofacial
disorders.
3)
To foster
critical thinking in graduate students relative to clinical care and research.
Course
Evaluations:
1)
Mid-term
examination (30% of grade).
2)
Final
examination (30% of grade). Both exams will consist of completion and short
answer items.
3)
Critical
reviews of 2 research articles per week (30% of grade). Articles will be
selected by the student from references cited in Peterson-Falzone et al. and/or
from supplemental readings distributed by the instructor. Each 1-2 page review
should succinctly summarize the purpose of the study, procedures, and
results/conclusions. In addition, the student should critique a) any aspect of
the study that might be suspect (i.e., subject selection, procedures,
interpretation of results), and b) the overall significance of the study either
to clinical practice and/or future research.
4)
Seminar
participation (10% of grade). Students are expected to participate in all
seminar discussions. In addition, at times throughout the semester, part of the
class will be devoted to student discussion of their research critiques.

Notes:
All chapters refer to Peterson-Falzone
et al. unless otherwise noted.
An asterisk (*) indicates a guest
speaker for that topic.
Critical
reviews are due each week beginning on Jan. 20, 2005. If two chapters are
assigned for a date, you want select articles from either chapter. No reviews
are due April 7 or April 21.
On
April 7, the class will meet in the Pressure-Flow Lab at the
Observation
of patients in clinic and/or team meetings is encouraged. Clinics are held on Tuesday
and Thursday mornings of each week (beginning at 8 AM). Team meetings are held
at 12:30 to 2:30 PM each Tuesday. Attendance at clinic or team meeting will
count as one review assignment (i.e., both clinic observation in the morning
and attendance at team meeting in the afternoon will substitute as the critical
reviews for one week).
The
Golding-Kushner text is brief and the entire book should be read ASAP. It can
be read in one evening (or weekend at most).
The
Honor Code is, as always, in effect in this course.
