This course is designed for the student planning for a career working directly with people in need. It teaches you how to effectively help people in direct-service situations, whether through non-profit organizations (e.g., homeless shelters, domestic abuse programs, refugee services, foster care services) or government jobs (e.g., child protective services, welfare office). The class uses lectures, discussions, guest speakers, videos, homework, in class assignments, and tests to enhance your understanding of the material. Attendance is extremely important and will be strictly enforced. This course is a two semester commitment and students must agree to sign up for both semesters in order to be allowed into the course.
