All sources must be properly cited in text and in the reference list. Use the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA, 6 th edition, 2 nd printing) guidelines for writing and formatting your paper. When considering the use of online sources, scrutinize the website carefully. Wikipedia should not be cited as a source. The following link should be consulted as a guide for evaluating internet sources: 8. Include your name, date, course and section numbers, and course and paper titles on the cover page of your paper. Pages should be numbered and double-spaced using Times New Roman 12 point font with 1 margins on all sides. 9. Keep a copy of every assignment you write. Written assignments should be handed directly to the course instructor. Alternatively, they may be turned in, in person, to administrative staff in the Social Work Department office during regular business hours. Papers left in faculty mailboxes or slipped under closed office doors will not be considered received unless and until they are retrieved by the instructor. Students should not send assignments to the instructor via or fax unless they have received prior approval to do so. Assignments submitted in this manner should not be considered received until a confirmation is received from the instructor. 10. The assignment deadlines have been established to promote your progress and the orderly, sequential development of the course material. Complete and submit your work on time. Your paper is docked one full letter grade if it is turned in seven days past the due date. After seven days, your paper will not be accepted at all, absent prior written approval of the instructor. Requests for late acceptance must be made in writing prior to the due date for the assignment; approval is not routinely granted. 11. Students are expected to complete assigned readings before coming to class. Lecture material may not necessarily parallel the text; it is intended to supplement, not substitute for, the required readings. For each class, be prepared to discuss the assigned readings, ask and answer questions, and integrate reading material into class discussions and activities. 12. Students are expected to attend class regularly. Any absence from class should be communicated to the instructor via prior to the beginning of class whenever possible, or as soon as possible thereafter. Students who miss a class should obtain class notes and find out what they missed from their classmates. 13. Plan to arrive to class on time. Late arrival is disruptive to the class. If you know that you will be late send an message to the instructor at your earliest convenience. 14. Active verbal participation in class discussions and exercises is expected of all students. Those students who rarely or never speak up during class are not verbally contributing to class. No class 3

4 member should participate in a manner which either disrupts the class or regularly hinders other class members from participating. 15. Cell phone use compromises the concentration needed for successful learning. Turn off your cell phone or place it on silent mode during class. Laptop computers should only be used in class for class work. 16. A respectful relationship between the student and the instructor is essential. This course is a joint effort between the student and the instructor. The instructor will be available to meet with students during office hours, before or after class, and by appointment. Students are encouraged to contact the instructor by The most effective learning is interactive and collaborative. Collaborative learning requires student participation and cooperative efforts and interaction in class discussions and small group work. You are expected to be an active member of class discussions. This supports your learning as well as that of your peers. Be prepared to present your assigned work to the class and discuss it with all. 18. The course schedule is subject to change. Any changes will be announced in class. It is the student s responsibility to monitor and adhere to any such changes. Grading: A The work is among the very best in the class. It shows extraordinary creativity, ingenuity and critical thinking. Grammar, spelling, and sentence structure are flawless. The prose is of the caliber that reading the work is a pleasure. Structure, evidence, logic, style, and originality are all excellent. A- The work significantly exceeds minimal requirements. Concepts from the social science and social work literature are well incorporated and applied evenly. The work shows clear evidence of careful and creative thought. It is well written, with minimal, if any errors in syntax or grammar. B+ The work solidly addresses all of the assignment requirements. Structure, evidence, logic, style, and originality are all very good. B There is some effort to incorporate ideas, but they are not consistently applied throughout the work. Major points of assignment are addressed but much more effort should have been made to engage in critical thinking or to improve writing. B- Structure, evidence, logic, style, and originality are all minimally acceptable. Students must achieve a B- or better to pass the course. C+ Structure, evidence, logic, style, and originality are not all minimally acceptable. C The assignment requirements are not fully met. Serious problems exist in organization, explanation of concepts, grammar, or syntax. 4

5 D One or more of the following are not present: thesis, arguments, textual evidence. Organization is incoherent; writing is very awkward and unintelligible. The writer shows no conception of the most rudimentary aspects of writing, e.g., outline, paragraphs. F One or more major elements of the assignment have been omitted, or the assignment is handed in more than seven days late without having sought and received written permission to do so from the course instructor. IN A grade of incomplete (IN) will be assigned if, due to serious extenuating circumstances, the student is unable to complete the required course work by the due date. It is the instructor s discretion whether or not to allow a student to be assigned an incomplete grade. These situations will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. All missing work must be completed and submitted to the instructor in accordance with the Mason academic calendar: Letter Grade Numerical Range A A B B B C C D F 0-57 Mason grading policies appear in the University catalog: If you want advice on how to improve your grades, let s meet and discuss this. If you want to dispute an assignment grade, first provide me with a written statement explaining your rationale. Then I will review your work and we can meet to discuss the matter if necessary. Assignments: You will write four short, scholarly papers, each of which should be words (in addition to the title page, reference list, and appendices). These papers will become the basis for your class 5

6 presentations and your panel discussions. Each set of work for a unit, i.e., written paper, class presentation, and panel discussion, will comprise 25% of your course grade. The quality of your written work will determine your grade. The papers will reflect social policy readings that you do for each unit of the course, i.e., child welfare; school social work; child and adolescent health and mental health; and juvenile justice. In each paper, focus on a particular trend or issue. Explicate competing values reflected in current social policies. Examples include child-centered vs. family-centered policies (child welfare), mainstreaming vs. specialized education (schools), targeted treatment vs. universal assessment for early intervention and prevention (child and adolescent mental health), and rights to due process vs. best interests of the child (juvenile justice). Explain how knowledge and values impact current social policies for children and youth. For each paper, focus on an issue that is essential in promoting child well-being and positive youth development, and indicate how social policies could be changed to better the lives of children and youth.

Unit 4: Juvenile Justice This unit examines the historical development of the juvenile court, and how juveniles came to be treated differently than adults in the U.S. criminal justice system. Juvenile courts have jurisdiction over children in three basic types of situations: (1) when they are accused of conduct that would be considered a crime if committed by an adult; (2) when their parents or guardians abuse or neglect them or when they are in need; and, (3) when they violate rules that apply only to juveniles, called status offenses. Status offenses include unapproved absence from school. Special attention will be given to the policy issue of a juvenile s right to due process, and the juvenile court s special mandate to look after the best interests of the child. Barton, W. (2006).
