Academic Writing and Support

This first week of classes is all of your first week starting in the social work program. Theories of Practice I is a part of a three-part series of classes. In the first semester, you will be looking into how do we work with individuals. The second semester is about working with families and groups. Finally, the third semester takes a broader approach and looks at macro practice. During the first class session, we are focused on getting to know your fellow students, the course instructor, and what the course will look like. We will also talk about academic writing as this course is a “W” class.

The agenda is as follows:

  • Getting to know each other
  • Cooperative agreements and norms
  • The look and feel of this learning environment
  • Academic writing
