SWK-563 Social Work Field Placement and Seminar IV

This course is a continuation of the generalist social work field placement accompanied by a seminar (SWK-562). 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 the planned change process in the context of generalist social work practice. Since this culminates the Field Placement for Generalist Social Work Practice, evaluations of the entire field experience are completed. In addition to course work, students must pass the final practicum evaluation as completed by the field instructor to pass this course. Students teach each other about fields of practice and provide a support system for facilitating a good ending. Required time spent in the agency is an average of 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. As this is the final field course, the total 400 hours must be completed by the end of the course. Prerequisite: SWK-562
