Briefing to make sure that everyone who missed stays up to speed-important concepts were covered that are potentially part of your assigned paper (very comprehensive instructions are uploaded). Most importantly to the class you need to understand how to use the VIA test as a tool to potentially evaluate clients and also as you'll be taking it yourself and potentially using the results as part of your assigned paper. Regarding the paper, what I'm REALLY looking for a demonstration that you understand and can apply the concepts we've covered (there is a list in my powerpoint). Note that I'm making also NEXT week's reading potential material for your paper if you would like to either read it or wait until my next lecture. Just email me if you have questions.
