Final Paper Purpose: This paper will demonstrate the student’s ability to identify the three CSWE competencies that they achieved in this class, the corresponding practice behaviors, and the products that led to their achievement. The student will discuss how they will apply these skills in their future social work practice.
Final Paper Skills: The purpose of this assignment is to reflect on three CSWE competencies and discuss how you have met those competencies in this course, how you will apply what you have learned to your future clinical social work practice, strengths you discovered in your work as well as areas for improvement, and to reflect on three takeaways of how research informs practice. This exercise will also provide an opportunity for the development of graduate-level writing and critical thinking skills.

This paper should include at least 3 references.
Students should use the “TurnItIn Check” in Canvas prior to submission and should modify their papers to rectify any phrasing that is too close to the original source. Finally, papers should be submitted to grammarly.com and all grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors should be corrected prior to submission.
