Notes:
1. Field placement will be evaluated by a grade of "pass/fail".
2. A student will be deemed a pass if he/she has:
- reliably submitted all required paperwork and journals
- received "pass" achievement ratings on all objectives in the evaluation form
- completed the required time in field placement and seminar
- followed all agency and college policies
- completed the required assignments in seminar
3. Non-compliance with any of the required items listed in #2 will result in a "fail" grade.
4. Student's will have a mid-term evaluation (weeks 6 - 7 of placement) and final evaluation (final two weeks of
placement) to review progress toward the achievement of learning objectives. This evaluation will be with the
student, field placement supervisor and college advisor at a mutually agreed upon time.
5. The evaluation is to be completed by the student and the field placement supervisor at least one week prior to
the mid-term and final evaluation meetings. This evaluation will be reviewed and discussed with the college
advisor at each evaluation meeting.
The student and supervisor will:
1. Complete the evaluation form before the evaluation meeting times by discussing each enabling objective
(including the student learning outcomes) assigning a rating using the evaluation criteria outlined. Student and
supervisor comments should be completed. Please note: to achieve a rating of 2 or greater, an enabling
objective needs to be demonstrated with consistency, and not just once with direction and supervision.
Whenever a rating of zero or one is assigned, documentation on the evaluation form showing examples of the
difficulty must be included. Unsatisfactory performance will also be documented by the College Advisor with a
Student Alert form.
2. Review all necessary documentation (time sheets, journals, and supervision record) to ensure that they are upto
date and initialed by the placement supervisor. This documentation should be in the student's placement binder.
The student should also be prepared to state how each of their individual goals, developed in the first week
of placement, have been reached. 6. Evaluation Meetings
The evaluation meetings will take 45 minutes - 1 hour. At the evaluation meetings, the following will occur:
1. The college advisor will review the field placement binder which contains updated documentation (placement
contract with goals, supervision record, time sheets, journals, evaluated enabling objectives. NOTE: ratings of
2, 3, and 4 are deemed as a pass).
2. The college advisor will ask the student and placement supervisor for their comments on student's progress.
3. The student will summarize his/her overall placement experience.
4. The evaluation will be signed by the student, placement supervisor and college advisor at each evaluation
meeting.

5. The college advisor will take a copy of the evaluation at midterm, and at the final evaluation meeting, he/she
will retain the final evaluation form and all other placement documents and forward to the Program
Coordinator for filing at the College.
7. e-Portfolio
In Seminar, students will be required to continue working on their career portfolio as their Social Service Worker
Capstone project. The evaluation methods may include a mix of peer feedback as well as feedback from the
Professor and will be consistent with the pass/fail nature of the course.

Course Specific Policies and Expectations:


CRIMINAL REFERENCE CHECK: Students are required to get a criminal reference check, including Vulnerable
Sector Screen within 6 months prior to commencing placement. Students are responsible for arranging and paying all
costs associated with obtaining the criminal reference check in their primary residence (hometown). When requesting
a criminal reference check, students must inform the police that the criminal reference check is required for work with
vulnerable persons and is required for a student placement. NOTE: Students with criminal charges or convictions,
criminal charges pending or an unclear criminal record will be severely limited in placement and/or employment
opportunities or be denied by the placement agency, and therefore may be unable to complete the program.
STUDENT CONDUCT: Students are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner. It is everyone's
responsibility to have respect for their peers and contribute to a positive learning environment. These responsibilities
extend to the use of electronic communication devices. Your Professor may request that students not use their
computers and turn off and put away cell phones during particular segments of classes, e.g. when having a guest
speaker, during peer presentations etc. Anyone who refuses a Professor's direction regarding the use of electronic
devices or disrupts a class to the detriment of other students will be asked to leave. Following a second infraction, the
student will be issued a student alert which will become part of their student record. Students may not administer
medication to any clients or participate in the application of physical restraints when at placement.
PLACEMENT HOURS: Students are expected to attend field placement two days a week, 8 hours per day (off-site),
totaling 16 hours/week. In situations where the agency/organization work day is less than 8 hours, the student must
make arrangements to make up these additional hours. In addition to the weekly hours in placement, students will be
given credit for 1 hour each week to complete their weekly journal. Students are not expected to attend placement on
Statutory Holidays and will not be expected to make up these hours.
FIELD PLACEMENT SEMINAR: A required one hour seminar class will take place weekly in which students will
discuss, explore and problem solve situations that arise during field placement. During some classes, topics that
pertain to the successful completion of objectives in field placement may be presented through the use of film, public
speakers and group activities.
PLACEMENT ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to attend placement punctually and to actively participate. If
going to be absent, students are expected to contact the placement supervisor and college advisor before, or on the
day of the scheduled placement, should an emergency occur. Any missed placement time, needs to be made up in
consultation with the placement supervisor. Lateness and partial attendance will be deemed as an absent.
SEMINAR CLASS ATTENDANCE: Students are expected to attend class punctually and to actively participate in
class discussions, activities, exercises, and homework related to the course topics. If going to be absent, students are
expected to contact the professor before, or on the day of the scheduled class, should an emergency occur. The
student may be required to submit documentation (ie., doctor's note) detailing the absence. Absences without valid
documentation may result in a student alert being filed and/or a "fail" for the course. Lateness and partial attendance
will be deemed as an absence. NOTE: Attendance at seminar, as well as completion of the required hours and
learning objectives in the field placement, will both be taken into consideration when determining a grade for all Field
Placement & Seminar courses.
JOURNALS: Journals are a structured opportunity for the student to reflect and self-evaluate his/her learning of the
field placement process. The journals will be completed weekly. Students are to record 1 hour of weekly journal time
on their time sheets. Journals are to be submitted electronically via DC mail to the College Advisor by Friday at 2 pm,
unless otherwise negotiated. Students may also be requested to submit their journals to their Field Placement
Supervisor. Specific instructions for content can be found in the Field Placement Manual.
WRITTEN FORMS/PAPERWORK: This includes timesheets, supervision record, Field Placement Contract, midterm
evaluation, final evaluation and any other documentation necessary for placement to be carried out. Copies of these
forms can be found in the Field Placement Manual.
TIME SHEETS: Students will complete their timesheets and have them signed by their field placement supervisors
weekly. These will be reviewed at mid-term evaluation and submitted to the college advisor at the final evaluation.
SUPERVISION MEETINGS: These meetings afford students the opportunity to reflect on, and review their progress. It
is recommended that the evaluation form and journals be used to determine areas of professional growth to be
discussed during supervision meetings. These meetings will be provided by the field placement supervisor every
week. Students are responsible for arranging a suitable time with their field placement supervisor for these to occur.
WRITTEN FORMS/PAPER WORK AND JOURNAL DUE DATES: In the field of Human Services, failure to meet the
client's needs on time may result in either unnecessary harm to your client and/or others, possibly the loss of one's
job, or both. Late submissions are therefore discouraged and will not be accepted unless negotiated prior to the due
date. Written work will not be accepted one week after the due date and will be marked as "fail".
LATE ASSIGNMENTS:

Durham College Course Outline - FWK 2501 - 2016-2017

Page

6 of

15

Non-negotiated Late Assignment:


This is an assignment that has been handed in late, and there has not been a verbal, contractual agreement between
the student and the professor to extend the time for the assignment to be handed in. This assignment is considered
late and may be assigned a grade of "0".
Negotiated Late Assignment:
This is an assignment that has been handed in late, but with the permission of the professor. It is the responsibility of
the student to notify the professor no later than 24 hours prior to the submission date, if s/he is unable to submit the
assignment as directed. The professor and student, through discussion, will have mutually agreed on the
time/extension that the student will receive to hand in the assignment. The student's grade will be penalized at a rate
of 10% per day (including due date of assignment) for each extra negotiated day.
FUNDRAISING GROUP WORK: Students are required to participate in a minimum of one fundraising group project
for the semester.
