Fieldwork Report

In this module, conduct your first fieldwork on observations and interactions with forensic psychology professionals. Your interaction with these professionals can be face-to-face, as with a tour of a facility or an interview, or it can occur over the phone when face-to-face meetings are not practical. If you are unable to complete a face-to-face meeting, then follow up with your instructor.

Tasks:

• Create a fieldwork report of your observations and interactions, including the following:

o Name of the professional
o The professional's affiliation and agency's affiliation
o Degrees and licensure
o Type of training in forensic psychology (if applicable)
o Primary job responsibilities
o Client population served
o Any ethical conflicts the professional routinely encounters
o Recommendations to a graduate student in forensic psychology
o Other observations as deemed appropriate
o Reflection on what you learned from the fieldwork experience and how you can apply it in your professional life

Write your report in a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document. Please follow the attached grading rubric.

Follow APA guidelines for writing and citing in-text references. All written assignments and responses should follow APA rules for attributing sources.
