Introduction
The department of Psychology came into
existence in 1954 under the Chairmanship of Professor Dr. Qazi Aslam.
It gradually attracted both students and teachers with the result
that teaching and research psychologists like Dr. Haseen Uddin Zuberi,
Dr. S. M. Hafeez Zaid, Dr. Farrukh Z. Ahmed, Dr. Afzal Imam and Dr.
M. Wasim led the department to its present academic heights. It has
now become one of the leading departments in the Faculty of Social
Sciences.
Since 1956, the teaching and practice
of Clinicalpsychology has enjoyed popularity both amongst teachers
and students of the department.
Teachers of the department are also
members of the Sindh Psychological Association and the Pakistan Psychological
Association. They further act as subject specialists in the Provincial
and Federal Public service commission for the appointment of teachers
in colleges. Seminars, lectures, mental health camps, conferences
and professional development courses, etc. are arranged for the students
so that they remain updated with current activities and will be able
to grow intellectually.
Teaching & Assessment
Teaching is based on interactive class participation:
group discussions, class presentations by students, assignments,
research work etc. to maintain interest and make learning more effective.
The use of audio visual aids brings out the creativity of teachers
and students, and helps in improving their presentation skills. Assessment
is based on class performance of students, their punctuality, assignments
and particularly the semester examination results.
