Human service
The final paper will consist of a comprehensive demonstration of the attitudes/values, skills, and knowledge of Human Services. In your text, An Introduction to Human Service Policy and Practice, 8th Edition by Betty Reid Mandell and Barbara Schramm, Table 4.1 reveals the list of competencies for the field of human services.
Final Paper Criteria:

- Paper topic can be any subject or agency in the field of human services.
- A presentation of the competencies chosen and how each was demonstrated throughout the course is expected. For example if a person chose to write on Child Abuse and the competencies picked were:
- Open-mindedness (attitude/value)
- Negotiating Contracts (skills)
- The impact on society and culture (knowledge)
The paper might explore how professionals working at DHS Child Welfare were open-minded and then examples would be given. Next, the paper might explore what type of standards/treatment plans are expected in child welfare or what is expected in treatment for offenders. Finally the paper might explore how many agencies provide services for child abuse and how may be similar and/or different. This would be gleaned from agency reports/visits.
