LEVEL:Graduate
GER:—

PRE-QUALIFICATION IS REQUIRED BY THE DEADLINE (APPROXIMATELY FIVE WEEKS BEFORE THE QUARTER BEGINS). The focus of this course is to increase one's competencies in building more effective relationships. Learning is primarily through interactions with other T-group members. This course is very involving, and, at times, can be quite emotional. However, this course is not a substitute for therapy. If you are in therapy, please talk this over with your therapist and get their advice before enrolling in this course. T-groups meet during part of class-time as well as in the evening. T-groups for all sections will meet for 3 hours in the evening. For 1-day/week sections groups will meet the same evening as class. For 2-day/week sections, please see course details. The class has a weekend retreat toward the end of the quarter (check section details for specific dates). It is very important to note that when you decide to take this course, you make an explicit contract to be actively involved. ATTENDANCE: Because of the highly interactive nature of this course, it is very important that all students attend all sessions. Missing class, class T-group, evening T-group, or any portion of the weekend for an unexcused absence will negatively impact your course grade (as much as a full grade level for each absence). Attendance at the first class is required for all sections and an unexcused absence from the first class will result in your final grade being reduced. Some sections of the 2-day/week version of the course allow one unexcused absence on a non-T-group day with no grade penalty, but this does not apply to the first class. See individual instructor for details. Students who are waitlisted may fulfill the first class attendance requirement by attending the first class of any section of the course; it is the waitlisted student's responsibility to notify respective OB 374 faculty of your attendance and wish to fulfill your attendance requirement. PRE-QUALIFICATION: Students must pre-qualify before taking the class through an assignment on Canvas (due approximately five weeks prior to the quarter). Go to https://canvas.stanford.edu/enroll/H8WJ8X, then select "Enroll in Course". In addition to the Pre-Qualification assignment, you will also be asked to complete a Demographic Survey for each section in which you are enrolled or waitlisted. The survey(s) will be sent to you by email prior to the start of the quarter.
