Social Work Field Placement and Seminar III

Catalog description

This course is a continuation of the generalist social work field placement (SWK-561) accompanied by a seminar. Synchronous seminars provide opportunities for students to discuss and demonstrate application of knowledge, values, skills, critical thinking, and management of emotions, with particular emphasis on human rights, social, economic, and environmental justice in the context of generalist social work practice. Students learn about fields of practice and provide a support system. Required time spent in the agency is 12.5 hours per week for 8 weeks. The generalist field experience requires a total of 400 hours accumulated over the course of four field and seminar courses. A minimum of 100 hours must be completed in this third generalist field placement course. Exceptions must be approved by the Director of Field Experiences. In addition to course work, students must also pass an evaluation of professional behavior as completed by the field instructor to pass this course. Prerequisite: SWK-561
