To continue thinking about career planning, please begin working on a five (5) year career timeline for yourself.  This horizontal timeline (see grading rubric and example below) will also be part of your final project in addition to the 2 Career Services Occupational Research Worksheets you should be working on already. This timeline should be a diagram only–you will not need to provide an additional narrative as this will be submitted as a part of your worksheets and video discussion (i.e., no written paragraph of extra explanation).  Though, you will need to label the milestones on the timeline with one phrase or sentence.  

Instructions for the timeline:

1.  You may use any software to create the timeline (e.g. Powerpoint, Excel, etc), however, it must be able to be saved in a PDF format to be submitted with your final project (e.g. submitted to Turn it In within Canvas).

2.  The timeline needs to fit on one page.

3.  The timeline should span 5 years, starting with this current semester.  

4.  You are asked to document on the timeline what you steps/actions you will need to do (and when) to achieve your stated career goals (please see examples below for help).

5.  Your timeline should mark calendar years and months, but some time frames will be approximations (e.g., after finishing a 2-year graduate program, you may know you will need to take board examinations, but you likely won’t know the exact dates, so a best guess estimate is fine–but do check to see if your examining board has dates already published first).

Again, you may use whatever software that you wish to create the timeline, but it should be able to be submitted as a PDF.

To give a few clarifying examples:

• If you are a junior at USF and have the remainder of the 2020-2021 academic year and the whole 2021-2022 academic year before you finish your undergraduate degree, you would mark these months as time for finishing your undergraduate degree. If you are envisioning attending PA school after graduating, as one example, then you will need to mark when you will be working on your PA school applications, etc. during your undergraduate years. If you would like to intern or volunteer to get healthcare experience during this time, mark when you plan to do that as well (you can have overlapping items).
• If you will be graduating this year, you would begin with these remaining undergraduate months and then detail the steps and actions you will be taking for the “next step” in your career growth. If your chosen careers allows for immediate career entry after your undergraduate years, include notations for when you will begin your job hunt.

For many of you, your five year plan will take you through a graduate/professional degree program and into the workforce. Don’t forget to include rough estimates of when you will take certification/licensing exams and when you would need to submit your licensing to your state’s licensing boards.

Assignment 2: Process Recordings

A process recording is a written tool used by field education experience students, field instructors, and faculty to examine the dynamics of social work interactions in time. Process recordings can help in developing and refining interviewing and intervention skills. By conceptualizing and organizing ongoing activities with social work clients, you are able to clarify the purpose of interviews and interventions, identify personal and professional strengths and weaknesses, and improve self-awareness. The process recording is also a useful tool in exploring the interpersonal dynamics and values operating between you and the client system through an analysis of filtering the process used in recording a session.

For this Assignment, you will submit a process recording of your field education experiences specific to this week.

Note: You are submitting a written transcript, not an audio or video recording.

The Assignment (2–4 pages):

• Provide a transcript of what happened during your field education experience, including a dialogue of interaction with a client.
• Explain your interpretation of what occurred in the dialogue, including social work practice theories, and explain how it might relate to diversity or cultural competence covered this week.
• Describe your reactions and/or any issues related to your interaction with a client during your field education experience.
• Explain how you applied social work practice skills when performing the activities during your process recording.

By Day 7

Submit your Assignment

Note: You should also share your process recordings with your field instructor during your individual supervision.

Note: Adherence to confidentiality is required during your process recordings. Do not include real names of clients, supervisors, or social workers with whom you may come into contact during your social work field education experience. Omit any personal identifiers when detailing the interaction with your social work clients.

Assignment 1.1: Conflicting Viewpoints Essay – Part I

Prewriting
Due Week 2 and worth 30 points

When looking for information about a particular issue, how often do you try to resist biases toward your own point of view? This assignment asks you to engage in this aspect of critical thinking by playing the “Believing Game.” The Believing Game is about making the effort to “believe” – or at least consider – the reasons for an opposing view on an issue.

The assignment is divided into three (3) parts.

In Part I of the assignment (due Week 2), you will first read a book excerpt about critical thinking processes: “The Believing Game and How to Make Conflicting Opinions More Fruitful” at http://www.procon.org/sourcefiles/believinggame.pdf. Next, you will review the Procon.org Website in order to gather information. Then, you will engage in prewriting to examine your thoughts.

Note: In Part II of the assignment (due Week 4), you will identify, present and evaluate two arguments, one supporting your own view, and one supporting the view that you don’t agree with. In Part III, Synthesizing and Writing, you’ll write a research paper in which you’ll put all the work together.

Part I -Prewriting: Follow the instructions below for this prewriting activity. Use complete sentences and adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

1. Select one (1) of the approved topics from the www.procon.org Website and state your position on the issue.
2. From the Procon.org Website, identify three (3) premises (reasons) listed under either the Pro or Con section – whichever section opposes your position.
3. For each of the three (3) premises (reasons) that oppose your position on the issue, answer these “believing” questions suggested by Elbow:
   1. What’s interesting or helpful about this view?
   2. What would I notice if I believed this view?
   3. In what sense or under what conditions might this idea be true?”

The paper should follow guidelines for clear and organized writing:

• Include an introductory paragraph and concluding paragraph.
• Address main ideas in body paragraphs with a topic sentence and supporting sentences.
• Adhere to standard rules of English grammar, punctuation, mechanics, and spelling.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

• Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow SWS format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
• Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

• Identify the informal fallacies, assumptions, and biases involved in manipulative appeals and abuses of language.
• Create written work utilizing the concepts of critical thinking.
• Use technology and information resources to research issues in critical thinking skills and informal logic.
