SWKR-6001 Foundation Seminar I

This course is offered in conjunction with SWKR-6163 (Foundation Practicum I) and, together, the courses are designed to provide a forum for the integration of empirically based social work theory and field practice. Special emphasis is given to the professional development of the student as a generalist social work practitioner. The seminar affords an opportunity to learn from the diverse experiences of other students in their field placements. By using the field experience as a backdrop for assessing his or her own progress towards entry-level generalist social work practice, students are able to process professional growth and development issues. In this ½ credit hour course, students will meet synchronously for one hour, every other week. This course is broken up into two eight-week sections. Both are required to be completed with a successful passing grade.
