SOWK 477 - Field Instruction Seminar I

The seminar constitutes the academic complement to the agency-based field course. The field practicum and seminar jointly enable students to integrate knowledge acquired across the social work curriculum with practice in an agency. Particular attention is paid to the integration and analysis of Human Behavior and the Social Environment, and Practice content. Through analysis of their field experiences in the seminar, students’ understanding of previously learned material is deepened and further knowledge acquired. Required readings provide additional content on specific practice topics addressed in the seminar.
