SWK-561 Social Work Field Placement and Seminar II

This course is a continuation of the generalist social work field placement and the seminar (SWK-560). Synchronous seminars provide opportunities for students to discuss and demonstrate application of knowledge, values and ethics, skills, critical thinking, and management of emotions, with particular emphasis on diversity and difference in the context of generalist social work practice. Students teach each other about fields of practice and provide a support system. Required time spent in the agency is an average of 12.5 hours per week for eight 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 second generalist field placement course. Exceptions must be approved by the Director of Field Experiences. In addition to course work, students must also pass the mid practicum evaluation as completed by the field instructor to pass this course. Prerequisite: SWK-560
