POLICIES FOR THIS COURSE
COURSE POLICIES:
Assignment Policy: Assignments must be a hard copy and turned in on the due date. All late assignments will have 1 point deducted
from the total points for each day it is late.
There will be no rewrites. I will be available for questions and to review a draft of your work
(No more than 3 days) before the due date.
Attendance Policy:
With the understanding that some students may encounter a situation necessitating their absence from class, students are permitted one
absence from this course before losing points from their grade. For each subsequent absence, students will lose two grade points.
Due to a variety of reasons, some students might occasionally arrive late or need to leave early. In consideration of such possibilities,
students are permitted two late class arrivals or early leaves. For every subsequent late arrival or early leave, students will lose one
point from their grade. A late arrival or an early leave is defined as 90 minutes. Any more than that period of time will be considered
an absence.
Each student will fill out a notecard at the end of each class, including their name, a comment about the class, the date and time of
arrival and departure. This written record will be used to document your attendance and participation.
Please note: Late arrivals following a break and early departures before break are also subject to point deductions after the second
such instance. If the point total for the number of missed classes, late arrivals, late returns following a break, and/or early departures
exceeds ten, the student may not receive credit for the course irrespective of other performance criteria.
This policy is subject to modification at the Instructors discretion should a students life circumstances warrant alteration of the
policy. Such circumstances may include severe illness of the student or immediate family member, or a death in the family. Should
any such situations occur, request for modification of the attendance policy must be discussed with the Instructor.

Values Paper
Competency 2
This paper is designed to assist you in exploring your own value orientation. Of particular interest is how
your own values and feelings influence your attitudes and behaviors.
In a type written paper (5 pages double spaced), describe your values as they relate to the NASW Code of
Ethics.
Which of your values do you see as especially helpful to you as you practice social work?
Describe life situations that have helped you shape your values and support your belief in the social work
values described in your texts and in the NASW Code of Ethics.
What population would you have the most difficult time serving or advocating for? Explain why.
What have you learned about or experienced throughout your life concerning this population that led you to
have difficulty with serving this population?
Is there anything in your own spiritual/religious belief system that would be a barrier to serving this
population? Explain.
Explain how you would assist someone from this group in a non-judgmental way. How would you use and
display positive regard while working on behalf of such a client?
List two (2) ethical codes as stated in the NASW Code of Ethics that will help you serve this population.
How will you demonstrate these ethical codes with this population?
If it were possible, given your work setting, explain how you might respectfully refer such a client to
someone else who could better work with him or her. Please bear in mind that it is always important to avoid
blaming clients for why you might have difficulty servicing them.
How has this part of the assignment affected your decision to be a social worker?
Explain what your future plans will be to adhere to (embrace and make operational) the core values of social
work and the ethical codes in serving populations that challenge your thoughts, beliefs, habits and actions.

INTERVIEW PAPER
Competency 1
You are to interview, in person, a BSW social worker. Please use the name and credentials of the person that
you interview. Gather the following information:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
F.
G.
After the interview write a paper (4-5 pages double spaced pages) consisting of the following three sections:
Section 1
Describe the experience of trying to find someone to interview. Include how many phone calls
(I expect that you will make at least 20 calls before you contact me, unless you get lucky and
get someone sooner than that) you had to make, what your feelings were when asking a stranger
for help, how it felt if your calls were not returned. The idea is that you will become aware of
the parallel processes between how you felt and how a consumer might feel in similar
16
circumstances (i.e. asking for help, calls not returned, etc.). Please compare the feelings you
had to the feelings a consumer might have.
Sections 2
Summarize the information gathered during the interview and include the information from AG above as well as other related content or observations.
Section 3
Conclude the paper with your assessment of the interview and the work that is accomplished in
the agency. Include how you experienced this assignment (i.e. what did you learn, how did you
feel during the interview, do you feel or think differently about social work, etc.).
All papers must include a cover page, an introduction and a conclusion to the topic. The cover page should
include your name, title of the assignment, information about the class (SW3010), the date you are handing it
in. Use the writing skills you learned in your English Composition classes. Do not include a transcript of the
session.
