Overview
In her capacity as a Senior Lecturer, Dr. Vieth enjoys the opportunity to teach a diverse array of undergraduate classes in Psychology: statistics and research methods as well as classes that fall under the domain of clinical psychology (Disorders of Anxiety), social psychology (Psychology of Consumers), and the border between the two (Personality, Psychology of Gender). Her primary goal is to encourage students to engage with ideas—to challenge them and at the same time, support their exploration. She does much the same in her capacity as Associate Director of Undergraduate Studies for Psychology, through which she talks with students about research and other opportunities internal and external to the department (such as the Psychology Vertical Integration Program, which she co-coordinates), encourages them to take advantage, and provides additional assistance as needed. She counts herself fortunate to play a supporting role for students as they the learn concepts of the field and navigate their paths to their degrees as well as to life beyond Duke.
