Class notes for Sept. 26, 2002 |
1. Test
#1 on Chapters 1 and 4
2. Discussed both the video we watched last week ( "Ladybird, Ladybird") and the test questions. 3. Handout: Outline of the group project
assignment. We listed all the topics in Human Services that we
could think of that people were interested in. Then the class was randomly
divided up into groups of five. These groups are 'permanent'; you cannot
switch groups or opt out of working with the group members. In this
exercise, you will be learning a range of things about human service work;
one important aspect is, of course, the information about the topic you
will research, but, even more importantly, how to work within a group
setting, who you are in the context of a group, leadership skills
and risk-taking, responsibility in contributing to the group effort,
skills in researching a topic, creativity in figuring out how to present
the material to the class, and presentation/public speaking skills. We
will be using part of each class period to work on this project, and the
groups will each do a 45 minute presentation during the last classes of
the semester. |
Assignment: Read
and outline Chapter 2, "The Changing Nature of the Helping
Process". Start research for group topics. (IF YOU OWE ANY PAST ASSIGNMENTS, GET IT TO MY OFFICE BEFORE NEXT WEEK'S CLASS AND I WILL STILL COUNT IT. But from now on, missing an assignment or handing it in late will hurt your grade...) |
