All students will be held accountable for adhering to academic and nonacademic standards of conduct as described in the JACSW Student Handbook.

 This class operates as a laboratory on evaluation of  practice.  As such, students must be prepared to talk about change targets in the field on a weekly basis. Students are expected to (1) do assigned readings before each class period, and (2) bring evaluation ideas and problems to each class.

• RATIONALE AND PLAN for measuring some aspect(s) of a client's (individual, couple, family, or group) or environmental figure's functioning for a single-case research project (due Week 4; 20%)
