Another co-lecturing opportunity was experienced by 84 Psychology students of Mapua and Mapua MCL. The course on behavioral statistics, a one-term course delivered in 15 sessions from February to May, 2023 via synchronous online mode, introduces concepts in descriptive and inferential statistics, emphasizing applications to psychology. Dr. Nisha Sachdev of the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences of Arizona State University (ASU) conducted the class while the faculty members of Mapua and Mapua MCL assisted in giving assessments and exercises.
This is the second co-lecturing activity of Mapua schools in collaboration with ASU, where a faculty of ASU teaches a course to students of Mapua schools, hence providing Mapua students in Business and Health Sciences programs a first-hand experience in ASU instruction.
Dr. Sachdev earned a Doctorate of Public Health in Health Behavior, and a Doctorate of Psychology in Clinical Psychology from George Washington University. She is a public health consultant, strategist, and senior clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience leading multi-million programs within governmental agencies, organizations, and foundations to address social issues in underrepresented communities.
