READY INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY! PLEASE DO NOT PLAIGARIZE I WILL BE CHECKING. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

1. Scan the article
Scan at each section of the article to find:
Research question – The reason for the study is usually found in the Introduction.
Hypothesis – The hypothesis is also usually found in the Introduction.
How the hypothesis was tested – This is usually found in the Method section.
Findings – Look for this information in the Results section. The figures and tables will include valuable information.
Findings interpretation – This is usually found in the Discussion section.
Use the margins of the paper to write key points. Underline key sentences.
2. Write a draft for each summary
When you begin writing the summary, organize it in the same order as in the studies. Each summary should follow the same organization. For each item below, a suggested number of sentences have been provided as a guideline. Adjust the length accordingly depending on the content of your particular article. Remember each summary must be at least 300 words.
State the research question and tell why you find it significant or interesting (1-3 sentences).
State the tested hypothesis/hypotheses (1 sentence).
Describe the methods. These are some of the areas you might discuss: (5-7 sentences).
Design
Participants
Materials
Procedure
Independent variables-what was manipulated
Dependent variables-what was measured
Method of data analysis
Describe the results. Did the researcher/s find significant differences? (3-5 sentences).
Explain the main implications of the results. Make sure you note how the results and the interpretation of the results relate directly to the hypothesis. (2-3 sentences)
3. Write Final Draft
Next, you will need to put all three summaries into the final draft. The total word count for this paper is 900 words (300 words for each summary) plus 75 words for the intro and 125-150 words for the summary. You final paper should contain the following information:
Title page (required) – The title on the Title page should be your research topic or question. The title page does NOT count toward the 900 word minimum requirement. Only the author’s name, title of paper, and school affiliation appear on the title page. The word “Running head:” followed by a shortened version of the paper title in all caps appears on the top left flush to the margin and the page number in the same line right flush to the margin with the title page being page 1.
NOTE:The words “Running head” do not appear on subsequent pages but only the short title in all caps flush left with page number flush right.
Abstract (required) – The abstract is a brief, comprehensive integrated summary of the contents of the articles which is no more than 150 to 250 words in length. Do not include opinions or personal commentary, just basic facts about the contents of the paper that will provide the reader a quick overview of the main topics covered. The last line of the abstract is indented and begins with the italicized word “Keywords:” followed by a list of key topics covered by the paper with each keyword lower cased.
Summary pages (required) (minimum of 900 words; 300 words for each peer-reviewed article)
Use first-level centered sub-heading. Use one center-aligned sub-heading for each article you summarize. These sub-headings are in boldface and the first letter of each major word is capitalized. They are NOT the titles of your article, but instead they are more general words that convey the overall focus/topic of the article you are writing about. These sub-headings clarify where the evaluation, discussion, and summaries of each article begins and ends within the overall paper.
NOTE: In addition to the sub-headings, the first page of text begins with the title of the paper centered, not boldface, first letter of each major word capitalized. The running head and page numbers appear at the top of every page of the paper
References page (required) – Prepare full APA citations.
The full citations of the selected peer-reviewed journal articles need to be listed on the References page. Every reference cited in the text must appear on the References page and every reference listed on the References page must be cited in the text. A good rule of thumb when summarizing material from a reference is that you have a text citation identifying where the information came from for every paragraph. Be sure the References are listed in alphabetical order, use the hanging indent, only the first word of article title is capitalized on the References page, and italicize the journal name. DO NOT title the References page Works Cited or Bibliography.

The Case
of Andre
The Case of Andre Gabour (2015) shared the story of a
traumatic survival experience following Hurricane Katrina. Andre recounts his
experience with his wife Alisha and baby, Andre Jr.
We will examine part of this story for our case study
assignment: Andre: “We stayed. My fault. We got a solid two-story brick house
out in Gentilly. Had it for six years and it never flooded before, never got
the least bit of water since we been there. Plus, I laid the new shingles
myself, and the roof’s solid, three-quarter-inch treated plywood underneath, so
I figured we’d be fine. We was until the levees broke, then the water started
coming up so fast we had to scramble upstairs from the first floor.” “That
water came right behind us, waltzing up the stairs like it owned the place, and
quick as a wink got to swirling around our ankles on the second floor. Then,
the lights went out. Flash of light and popping of sparks when the transformer
down the block blew. I was stacking stuff in the dark on the beds and chest of
drawers, and hauling stuff to the attic best I could, thinking it would never
stop. But, the water finally topped out around my waist. Just stopped. I kept
watch. ’Bout midnight, I waded out on to the upstairs balcony from our bedroom
to get a look. The water was running by my house just below the balcony
railings, and I could see this black, oily surface going all around the block,
filling streets and yards. People was yelling, banging on the roofs of houses
from the inside. They’d climbed up to get away from the water and got
themselves stuck in their attics with no way to break out.” “Two days earlier
some politician had told everybody staying to make sure they had an ax in their
house, especially in their attics. The news people, and the president even, had
acted like the man was some sort of farm boy for saying such things. ‘Take your
axes upstairs,’ he’d said, and those news folks had laughed. But here it was
a-flooding, and that nasty water was drowning folks like rats in they own
houses, and you better know them folks wished now that they had them axes.” “I
couldn’t tell where exactly the yelling was coming from, because everything was
echoing off the water and spinning from every which way. I went inside to make
sure Alisha and Junior was OK. They wasn’t, but I talked to ’em for a bit and
they calmed down. Late the next morning a motorboat full of guys in uniform
come along and got us out of there. I still don’t know who they was, but got us
out of our house and they took us to the Broad Street overpass, where there was
maybe 200 folks already waiting around. Nothing to do, no food, no water, no
blankets, but I figured somebody would come directly. They wouldn’t just leave
us there, no sir.” “But they did, they left us. Then they up and forgot us, and
that’s when things started to get bad. Really bad. Cause there was some
no-account folks up there, and they were hassling the people who looked weaker
and taking their money and food if they had any. They didn’t bother us, at
least for the first two nights, but I know they was looking to. Especially
after that second night and into the third morning with no food, no water at
all, more and more folks just wading and swimming up there and floating in on
rafts and plastic swimming pools and wheelbarrow tubs and all kinds of stuff.
Folks were getting desperate and mean.” “Now all this time I been calling my
sister uptown on my cellphone and it’s going down and she’s saying ‘Get on up
here right now. There ain’t no flooding and I got running water and electricity
and a working real phone.’ But I’ve been looking down, and the water is deep at
the end of the overpass. I know neither my wife nor baby can swim, and I ain’t
in the best of shape. So up to then we was sitting it out, just waiting and
hoping and trying to stay invisible to the Bad Guys.” “Then, in the morning, it
happened. Some kid, maybe eight years old, climbed up on the overpass railing,
and as soon as he got to the top, he just slips and falls right over. Down
maybe 50ft and into the water. Everybody rush to that side and look for him,
but he don’t come up. And nobody goes down to try and get him, because even if
you jumped off and didn’t get killed, you’d have to swim a good half mile to
the ramps to get back where you started. So we just saw that baby die and
nobody did a thing. I could see the faces of the people that was stealing and
robbing from folks. They saw that baby go down, and you could tell it didn’t
mean nothing to them. Not a thing. That’s when I decided we had to go.” “I had
seen this man down toward the end of things, toward the water on the west end
of the overpass, sleeping on an air mattress. Lot of plastic tubes in a row,
about three feet across, like one of those things you use to float in a
swimming pool. I took the wife and baby and I went to him and I says, ‘Look,
man, I got to get my family out of here. I got to get to my sister’s house
uptown where it’s safe for them, and I want to ask you to loan me that air
mattress. Please,’ I says. And he looks me in the face and looks at the wife
and child, and he gives me that mattress, not saying another word.” “So we go
down to the water and I get Alisha and Andre Jr on that mattress and I start
pushing and wading. It don’t take 50 foot before I am up to my neck and they
both are crying and wanting to go back. But, I keep on, not wanting to see no
more of that overpass.” For this case study assignment, assume that Andre,
Alisha, and Andre Jr. are unable to immediately connect with extended family.
They have lost everything, but they are able to make it to a temporary crisis
center. You are the counselor who meets with Andre, Alisha, and Andre Jr. at
the center, and you also follow-up with them in the months to come. Discuss how
you would apply the stages of immediate, intermediate, and ongoing care for at
least one member of this family. Use the literature and provide examples.

You are going to be asked to explain what you have learned during this summer session in this class.
The self-assessment essay is your opportunity to think about all of the information you have learned in the class and consider how it ties together. What ideas, information, and historical insights have you gained from the class thus far? If you had to sit down at a holiday dinner with family and explain what you have learned from the class, what would you tell them? Would you speak about specific people? Specific events? A particular time period? How could you tie these all together? Have you learned something that has helped you think differently about other issues, places, etc? If so, why and how? How does it all tie together?
As you can see from the questions above, I am asking you to write about both the larger ideas you have encountered as well as specific examples to support your discussion. I want you to think about how each individual class fits into a bigger picture of the interconnections between African and U.S. history.
How to approach this essay
What are the bigger themes/issues that have come up between the readings, lectures, and discussions? Where do these themes/issues cross regionally in the history of the continent?
What are some of the specific themes/issues related to only U.S. & African interactions (as opposed to other western countries)?
Look across your notes from lectures, podcasts, films, hypothesis documents, discussions and readings from each week and see what patterns you find.
How the essays will be graded
I will consider how your essay approaches big picture ideas/themes/issues in the history of Africa and the U.S.. Do you offer a discussion of an idea/theme(s) that ties together ideas comparatively or across time?
I will look for you to use specific examples to support your analysis. How do these examples illustrate the arguments you are making in regard to course themes?
I will expect to see an argument made in your essay and analysis of sources, ideas, readings, etc. Why did you find particular readings/examples helpful to understanding the points/ideas you are talking about in your essay?
I will look at your analysis, creativity, and the preparation put into thinking about the interconnections between U.S. and African history and writing the essay. Why do you think this topic is the most important you have encountered thus far in class?
Essay Hints
* I will not grade on spelling. If you don’t know how to spell a word, do your best to phonetically spell it out.
* I do expect to see a sense of chronology of events. For example the founding of Liberia happens before Marcus Garvey.
* I do expect to see a knowledge of correct regional placement of examples used in the essay.
* I do expect to see factually correct information in the essays.
* The difference between an opinion and an argument is the argument is based on evidence. Giving opinions without evidence does not constitute an argument.

Part A
Please review the Power Point presentation on professional ethics, read chapter 7 from the Brammer text, chapter 3 from Corey, and then review the NOHS Ethical Standards for Human Services Professionals at the following webpage.
http://www.nationalhumanservices.org/ethical-standards-for-hs-professionals
The supplemental materials are found under week 5 content. You will also need to identify ethical codes from your current job if they differ from NOHS. Some of your jobs may require you to follow the American Counseling Association (ACA), American Psychological Association (APA), National Association of Social Workers (NASW), or the National Education Association (NEA). You may either have a hard copy of these, or they can be located online very easily. Due to the generalist nature of our Rehabilitation undergraduate and graduate programs, the NOHS guide is the one with which we are most closely aligned.
In addition to these professional codes of ethics, each of you must also adhere to state and federal laws, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania agency guidelines, and employer policies and procedures. Taken together, it may seem sometimes difficult to dissect potential ethical dilemmas and then ascertain how to best proceed. Linking codes of ethics to real world dilemmas is often an exercise in keeping your bearings in shifting sand. Regardless of which code of ethics is being used, certain universal principles are transdisciplinary and may be found in each: confidentiality, beneficence, autonomy, non-maleficence, and justice (as noted in Power Points). These underlying principles can be viewed as reflecting both a mandatory as well as an aspirational perspective.
Please review the following questions taking care to provide a complete response to each, including any appropriate sub-parts. Please clearly number each of your responses in accordance with the accompanying question.
Question #1: (5 pts)
Sexual improprieties are arguably the most serious of ethical violations. Compare NOHS code with another code of your choice and respond to the following:
A. What similarities and differences in each code address sexual improprieties by helping professionals?
B. How does each address sexual relations with a former client?
Question #2: (5 pts.)
A 17 year old comes to see you for the first time. She appears very depressed. She tells you that on her 18th birthday she plans to commit suicide; she also tells you in great detail why and how she intends to do it. She further says she is telling you this because she does not belong to any church and has no priest or minister, you are the only person she is telling.
A. In light of your professional role as a case manager, and considering the NOHS code of ethics, how would you proceed?
B. Using a second code of ethics that differs from the NOHS approach, how would you proceed?
C. Which do you believe is the better approach and why?
Question #3: (5 pts)
You (counselor role) have been working with a client for three years now and he is graduating from Clarion University in December. His family is hosting a graduation party at this parents’ house and he has invited you. He tells you that he never would have made it through without your steady support.
A. How do you respond according to the NOHS?
B. Discuss the pros and cons of attending the party and then by not attending.
Part B
Question #1 (10 pts.)
Chapter 15 of our text (which we read in week #4) explains the importance of individuals considering the development of his/her own “integrative approach” to therapy while developing your own personal philosophy of counseling. As this process takes time, experience in the field, and much personal reflection, I will refrain from expecting you to construct your philosophy at this juncture.
Rather, after your reflection of our campus-week regarding the variety of intervention techniques/theories as well as the other course materials we have used, I will have you respond to the following:
If you had to select one theory that would serve as your primary theory (one that resonates within you at this point in your career/life/perspectives), which theory would you select and why? Please incorporate a thorough explanation as to why you chose this theory (i.e. values, life experience, perspectives, opinions)–whatever the case may be–what is it about this theory that explains you. If you cannot narrow down to one theory, you can use 2 at the most.
*** Please use “Person Centered as my primary theory of interest ***
