From: Careers in Psychology Date: January 2015
Let's get one thing out of the way immediately: Dr. Clawson has likely forgot more about psychology than most people will ever know. She has studied psychology throughout her entire educational career, starting with a double degree in Computer Science and Psychology from Cornell, then a Master's degree and a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from the University of Colorado. Just trying to understand her research interests can make any non-psychologist's head spin. Her research, in laymen's terms, has to do with the methods for improving performance on cognitive tasks but that only scratches the surface of her work. She has been teaching at Catholic University since earning her PhD and in addition to teaching both undergraduate and graduate classes, she is also the Director of the Applied Experimental PhD program and Human Factors Master's program as well. Her list of publication credits would take weeks to read through and she has been invited to speak and present so many times all across the country that the airlines must love her. But where she really shines is in the classroom where some students are willing to go as far to call her the best teacher they ever had. They rave about her willingness to help both in and out of the classroom, her ability to make the material easy to understand, and her ability to make all of her classes interesting no matter the subject material. When you combine the impressive resume with the almost universally positive reviews from students, you get a professor who deserves to be on this list.
