Questions about your grades? Please reach out so that we can work together to identify areas of improvement.

Keep in Mind… Formatting: – This is a practice course designed to prepare you to begin working as a social worker. – Homework/Assignments are an example of how you present your work professionally. – Please represent yourself well and turn in documents that meet all requirements per assignment guidelines and rubric. – APA (when citing), Spell Check, Double Space, Organization/Layout

Chapters 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are outlined in the following slides. Please answer all parts of the question. Points are most frequently lost due to formatting (see previous slide and also consider the importance of restating the question), providing context, failure to critically analyze and being able to relate examples provided (personal insight) to practice skill examined in the book.
