The elective course will be of particular value to social work students who plan to continue to graduate studies. The opportunity for conducting an undergraduate level research course will be a very worthwhile preparation for their subsequent work responsibilities as social agency employees. The course requires the production of a furnished, moderately sized research report based on original research and utilizing either quantitative and/or qualitative methodology. The course is limited to a maximum of twelve (12) students and requires close consultation with the lecturer at all stages of the process.
