[Subject & Grade] Social Work Theory and Practice IVA & IVB Marks not yet released [Subject Information] This final social work core course adds greater depth to all prior learning within the program. In this course students will articulate their own personal framework for social work practice with a particular emphasis upon the ability to value, think and act critically as professionals. This course draws together many of the field placement experiences, providing students with a measure of the competencies and gaps in these learnings. Participants will be encouraged to assess their own learning needs to identify further resources or skills required in preparation for life long learning in the field. Finally, learning in this course will provide graduates with a complex analysis of the purpose and place of social work as a critical profession in the pursuit of social justice in Australian society and internationally.

The final theory and practice subjects were focussed on community work and we were required to submit a group assessment. I have a lot of time working in groups during my university studies, and each group has had its own challenges and rewards. The biggest challenge of group work at CQU is distance as it is common to find yourself in a group with students from all around Australia, making face to face work on the assessment impossible. However, as a member of this final group, I am very proud of our work based on a community project for East Timor, and even prouder of our High Distinction mark. The final assessment for this subject is this portfolio and is, without a doubt, the biggest achievement for me to date. Reflecting on my study from 2005 to today, I am proud as punch to see my development and just as pleased to be able to present this web site as a testament to my learning and development.
