Written Application Assignments
Weekly written application assignments of 2–4 pages may also be assigned
to facilitate the integration of social work knowledge, skills, and values.
Written assignments are designed to provide students with the opportunity
to apply their newly gained knowledge to professional situations, case
studies, or other scenarios. All assignments must adhere to APA guidelines.
Journal Assignments
In this course you will be asked to provide journal entries on various topics.
The intent of the journals is for you to reflect on some of the more difficult
topics we address in this course. It should be a safe and confidential outlet
for you to explore a little more deeply your thoughts and emotions
surrounding that week's topic.
