I believe that all classes in the Social Work Department at Austin Peay State University (APSU) are intended to help prepare students for the practice of social work. The classes that stand out the most are the Generalist, Micro, and Macro classes. In these lessons we spent a lot of time experiencing real world scenarios or going into the community to gain knowledge about issues within that community. These lessons provided a preview of social work practice. The lessons also showed us how different social work practice can be depending on the area of ​​social work. The generalist classes gave us a workbook and within this workbook we had many tasks where they gave us a scenario and then asked us as a social worker how I would address these problems. For example, I remember one example asking me if I had a terminally ill client and asked me to help them commit euthanasia, would I do and what else would I do in that situation. I used the ETHICAL model to help me answer this question. For me, I decided that it was not only against my values, but also against the values ​​of the company I would be working for and that his life was more important than allowing the customer to commit euthanasia. In this example I also indicated that I could be held legally liable and could lose my license. I came to the conclusion that since I wouldn't have much practical knowledge, I would take this up with a supervisor to get more information on the situation. Although I would respect their decision if they decided to commit euthanasia, I would not be able to participate in this process. In the Micro lesson the instructor brought various scenarios from their practical knowledge. Students were given roles and a scenario to act out in class and then a… middle of paper… and a resident to see what the problem might be. The facility is teaching that will be very helpful in accommodating my interview with the resident. This requires an ongoing effort to analyze and process the interview and how I perceive the resident is taking in the information or question being asked. Many times I will have to ask the questions a little differently depending on how the client answers the question. For example, I might ask you what some of your past occupations are and the resident might give me a look and then I'll ask again what some of the jobs you've had in the past were. Being able to prepare and adapt the interview helps me get all the information I need from the resident. Many times I have found that if I visit the resident before having to conduct the interview, they are more willing to share their information to help me answer questions.
