of 17 Grading Information Grading Scale: 90 100 = A 80 89 = B 70 79 = C 60 69 = D 59 or Below = F Content Mastery The mastery threshold for this course is set at 80%. Any assignment not receiving a score of 80% or better will indicate a need for further engagement with the material. Students will be allowed to provide additional evidence of mastery of the material. The final examination, class exercises, group exercises, professional performance, and any assignment due after week 14 are ineligible for this requirement. Opportunities to provide additional evidence of mastery will vary by assignment. Rationale: Students in are expected to demonstrate mastery of the concepts, skills, ethics, values, and knowledge required of a bachelor level social worker in a practice setting. If a student has not done so, moving on to new material will likely be unhelpful. This provides that each student is given the appropriate opportunity to demonstrate an understanding of the material by engaging in self-directed activities. This also attempts to resemble the types of feedback and correction process experienced in a multitude of social work settings for new social workers or social workers orienting to a new practice setting. Point Values, Description of Assignments and Examinations, and Associated Practice Behaviors: Professional Performance 10% DSM-V Introductory Summary 5% Reading Quizzes 5% Case Vignette Reviews 20% Examinations 40% Training Video 20% Total 100% Professional Performance 10% This is relevant to attendance; preparation for class; interactions with others in the class; proactive/independent learning; engaging in class activities, including frequency and quality; reading assigned readings; professional presentation; adherence to NASW Code of Ethics, TBSWE Scope of Practice, TBSWE Code of Conduct, and any factors that would normally be evaluated in a professional social work setting. PB1 Advocate for client access to the services of social work.

of 17 PB2 PB3 PB4 PB7 Practice personal reflection and self-correction to assure continual professional development. Attend to professional roles and boundaries. Demonstrate professional demeanor in behavior, appearance, and communication. Recognize and manage personal values in a way that allows professional values to guide practice. PB10 Apply strategies of ethical reasoning to arrive at principled decisions. PB15 Gain sufficient self-awareness to eliminate the influence of personal biases and values in working with diverse groups. DSM-5 Introductory Summary 5% Students will read and then summarize the information in the introductory portion of DSM-5 (pgs xli-25). This assignment is meant to assess the student s understanding of the material. It is a summary only. The assignment is not to be longer than 5 pages. In order to accurately and sufficiently summarize the material in that length, the student will have to have a working knowledge of the material. The pages will likely have to be read numerous times and include significant struggle. A successful understanding of this portion of DSM-5 will make it relatively easy for the student to understand diagnostic procedures, assessment, criteria, etc., later in the course. PB5 Engage in career-long learning. PB11 Distinguish, appraise, and integrate multiple sources of knowledge, including research-based knowledge, and practice wisdom. PB12 Analyze models of assessment, prevention, intervention, and evaluation. PB14 Recognize the extent to which a culture s structures and values may oppress, marginalize, alienate, or create or enhance privilege and power. PB22 Use research evidence to inform practice. PB23 Utilize conceptual frameworks to guide the processes of assessment, intervention, and evaluation. PB24 Critique and apply knowledge to understand person and environment. PB25 Analyze, formulate, and advocate for policies that advance social well-being. PB27 Continuously discover, appraise, and attend to changing locales, populations, scientific and technological developments, and emerging societal trends to provide relevant services. PB29 Substantively and affectively prepare for action with individuals, families, groups, organizations, and communities. Reading Quizzes 5% Students will be given a short quiz for each section of the reading. The purpose of these quizzes is to ensure that students are keeping current with the reading and that they are sufficiently engaging with the material to have comprehension of the main points. These quizzes will be due prior to the Tuesday class (noon) of the week in which the readings are assigned (see schedule). Quizzes may vary in length and will be time limited. Students will be informed of the number of questions and time allowed prior to

of 17 beginning the quizzes. Quizzes cannot be completed late without penalty, but can be completed early, as soon as they are available on blackboard. PB1 PB7 Advocate for client access to the services of social work. Recognize and manage personal values in a way that allows professional values to guide practice.

The papers should conform to the standards of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 6 th Edition (2010). The length of the papers may vary, but should be no less than 5 pages, including the cover sheet and reference pages. Students are expected to engage in substantial independent research over the issues addressed in the case. Case reviews will be thorough, realistic, based on sufficient and current evidence, and demonstrate considerable critical thinking. Plagiarism is the presentation of someone else's information as though it were your own. If you use the words or ideas of another person; or if you use material from any source-- whether a book, journal, magazine, newspaper, business publication, broadcast, speech, electronic media, or any other source--you must acknowledge that source. Plagiarism on the term paper will result in the student not receiving credit for her/his term paper. PB10 Apply strategies of ethical reasoning to arrive at principled decisions.

of 17 Training Video. (Objectives 2, 4, and 5). 20% Students will assume the role of trainers for a local community mental health agency. The videotape will train the clinical staff to work with a particular type of client and treatment. You must select and present the essential and advanced skills necessary for the clinicians and last approximately 30 minutes. The material must (1) touch on the assessment strategies and ethical issues, (2) issues related to safety, informed consent, funding, legal status, (3) emphasize the treatment methods for the disorder(s), and (4) any other elements that are essential for working with the particular type of mental health client such as client s age, gender, ethnicity, philosophical or theological perspectives, and personal orientations. The video should be a demonstration and a teaching tool. It should contain the most relevant materials to justify your selection of assessment tools, intervention methods, possible medications, ethical issues, and maintenance strategies. A reference list of sources should be included with your video (using APA format). You may work in pairs for this project; however, each student will be responsible for his or her own video and materials (You may not submit one video for two people.). The following is a possible outline for the presentation: Part 1: Information about typical clients with a particular mental health concern at your hypothetical agency Description of the mental health concern, diagnostic criteria, assessment tools, validity and reliability of viable treatment options. (5-10 minutes) Part 2: Scenes showing the various elements or stages of the treatment approach. (15 to 20 minutes total) The focus of this project is on the content and accuracy of material. The grade is dependent on the content and the demonstration of your skills. Course Policies Please do ask questions that are relevant to the course and feel free to utilize my office hours. I am here to help you and I want you to succeed. Attendance Policy: An expectation of a professional social worker is that they are present in their practice setting. The expectation for students in a social work program is that they are motivated to learn and have evidenced dedication to their studies. Thus, my expectation of you is that you will be fully present in class- physically and mentally. Class begins and ends at the scheduled time. I ask that you be present for the duration of class. I expect that all other demands of your time- work, family, appointments, other courses, etc. will be negotiated with this in mind. There is no grade penalty for the first 2 absences (this is not an invite to miss class). any additional absence will result in a loss of 10 points off of your total grade. Please refer to ASU policy regarding class attendance. being more than 5 minutes late for class will count as an absence.

of 17 Make-up examinations will be considered on a case by case basis and will only be allowed for university approved absences. Late assignments are not accepted for any reason unless the reason is approved by the course instructor.
