SOWK 390H - Special Topics: Writing in Social Work
3 Credit(s)
This course will enable students to improve their written communications, in the sense that their writing will better conform to the standards of conventional English in a professional social work context. Good writing and proper documentation are essential to successful generalist practice. Students will acquire greater skill and competence with respect to rhetoric, writing coherent paragraphs, crafting good sentences, and the use of proper punctuation and mechanics. The class will emphasize writing in a professional, as compared to academic, context. Students will practice writing client assessments, progress notes, termination summaries, intra and interagency reports such as annual reports, community needs assessments, and other written communications that are likely to be an integral part of generalist practice in both clinical and community-service agencies.
