Also, with the help of college students and geriatric patients the goal is to evaluate the measuring of depression. “self-report rating inventory that measures characteristic attitudes and symptoms of depression” (Beck, et al., 1961). |

| What were your contributions to this assignment? | Completed 2 questions and we did the last two together. I helped come up with the accurate answers and worked together as a team to come up with the best time that works for all party involved |
| What challenges did your group experience? | I think the challenge we experienced as a group was understanding the project in general. It was very blurry to us and the expectations in what to past in and the steps to take toward completing the worksheet |
| How might the insights you gained while working with this small group help you in your work as a counselor? | Although this is not my first time working in a group, I think it just helps my communication skills, and understanding that everyone has different learning skills. It will be helpful in counseling because as a counselor we have to adjust and understand not all clients will be the same some will be more challenging than others. |
| Describe how your understanding of the role of a program evaluation in clinical practice changed, as well as the change in your own preparedness to evaluate the effectiveness of your clinical work. | It changed because at first, I thought were going to conduct meso skill counseling skill.
