This course is an advanced study of a particular theme or topics in the Social Work Research through readings, research, and analysis. The student is expected to complete a first draft of a full paper for journal submission as the main project. During the class, the student is expected to meet weekly (if necessary) or by-weekly (if desired) with the instructor for discussion, advising, and constructive criticism. However, the student is responsible for the development and progress of the project. Finally, your final grade is determined by your adherence and development of the draft project.
