Midterm Feedback for SOWK 591

7 submitted of 5 didn’t completed survey Only 2 for SOWK 596, so no report available

Positive:

  • Student-led discussions
  • Opportunities to share about experiences
  • Hearing other experiences
  • Mindfulness activities

Constructive:

“More of an open-discussion/investigation on how we can assist our clients with a dilemma at their practicum. Similar to a brainstorming meeting, where we just throw out ideas on how to assist our classmates.”

Love hearing about… Things You Are All Learning

  • “I’m able to learn about myself”
  • “I can advocate for myself when needed.”
  • “That I can get through this lol.”
  • “I’ve learned that I like to participate in discussions.”
