Students will have the opportunity to post in discussion forums and provide feedback to their classmates and the instructor. Students should

3 Page 3 consider that like a face-to-face class and engagement with the material will take approximately 3 hours per week, not counting larger assignments. The quality of written work must be appropriate for academic work and students must use APA style formatting and referencing. An excellent resource for this is available here APA. Students are required to move through the class when each week opens and complete all sections of the module, including the class readings, the learning activities and any assignments as scheduled. All assignments will be based on the content from the readings and learning activities, therefore, it is important to keep up with the readings. The instructor will monitor student progress and will request a meeting with students if they appear to be falling behind and develop a plan for successful completion of the program. It is recommended that you keep an academic journal of the insights you have gained through readings and online discussion activities. You can reflect on the learning accomplished using your journal to strengthen the quality of work you submit in graded assignments. SOCIAL WORK CODE OF ETHICS Students enrolled in the Bachelor of Social Work program at Vancouver Island University are expected to comply with the social work Code of Ethics within the jurisdiction in which they are residing. In Canada, students are expected to have read and comply with the Canadian Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics located here: Non-compliance with the Code of Ethics can result in discontinuation from the Bachelor of Social Work program. PARTICIPATION Attendance and participation in this class is mandatory. Students are expected to follow the online course on a weekly basis and keep up with the work. The instructor will follow up with students who appear to be falling behind to ensure that they will successfully complete the class content and assignments. If a student does not complete the entirety of the course, the instructor will review participation in the course and whether it can be completed.

4 Page 4 METHOD OF STUDENT EVALUATION: The evaluation process for this course will attempt to provide students with a variety of opportunities to apply the learning, readings and content. There will be more specific assignment outlines and marking rubrics provided online for the students to access. Please ensure that you read them and contact the instructor if you have any issues, concerns or questions regarding the content. 1. MAJOR PAPER/PROJECT 40% This will be a 10 to 14 page paper written in APA style. There will be an outline provided for each choice for students to explore. The expectations are that this paper will include at least 8 primary (academic and research papers) and secondary sources (interviews, document reviews) that explore the topic. A detailed outline and marking rubric will be available to students on the VIULearn site. You must have approval for your topic (a document for this will also be provided). Please choose something that resonates with you and your interests. Students have a choice on the focus of this paper: Interview with a person with a mental illness: A focus on an individual s experience as they navigate the mental health system.

They will make links to the readings and learning activities, specifically as it relates to stigma and personal and cultural values and beliefs. They will also consider how this will impact their work as social workers in their chosen areas of practice. An outline and marking rubric will be provided for the students online. 4. SHORT CASE REVIEW WORKSHEETS (Weeks 6, 7, & 10) (3 x 5%) 15% Students will complete short case reviews that will consist of an application of the content of the learning for that specific week to actual practice situations. Students are expected to review the following policy with respect to grade appeals: HANDLING OF STUDENT WORK 1. Students are responsible for retaining a copy of all submitted work. 2. All assignments to be submitted to the instructors on the due date as assigned and scheduled on the D2L site. Handing in an assignment late will result in a deduction of marks.
