Description (or Proposed Degree Requirements)
Course Description
This course will seek to expand students’ understanding of adolescence and the social
environment, to include cultural issues and systems that impact adolescents and their
development. While the course will rely on developmental, cognitive behavioral and family
systems theories, additional theoretical perspectives will also be addressed. Students will be
introduced to various settings in which adolescents are typically seen (schools, mental health
clinics, family agencies, and in-patient/residential sites). Students will learn to apply theory to
practice via case discussions and analysis, and in-class role-plays in an effort to refine their
assessment and treatment skills. Special attention will be paid to issues of race, gender,
ethnicity, and class, alongside the interplay between trends in teen culture and society.
III.
Justification
This course is developed as a progression to SW 8715 Clinical Practice with Children,
which focuses on working with children, aged birth to 13, and their families. SW 8726
Clinical Practice with Adolescents will focus specifically on ages 14-19. SW 8726 is
needed for students to develop specific skills to work with adolescents.

Course Description
This course will provide a basic theoretical framework for understanding the complex

introduced to various settings in which adolescents are typically seen (schools, mental health
clinics, family agencies, and in-patient/residential sites). Students will learn to apply theory to
practice via case discussions and analysis, and in-class role-plays in an effort to refine their
assessment and treatment skills. Special attention will be paid to issues of race, gender,
ethnicity, and class, alongside the interplay between trends in teen culture and society.

COURSE EXPECTATIONS
Attendance Policy- Students are expected to attend each and every class and to arrive on time.
Roll will be taken regularly. Be aware that tardiness will also affect your final grade. Please turn
off all cell phones and pagers during class. Students may use laptop computers to take notes or
to follow PowerPoint presentations. Anyone caught using email, Facebook, twitter, instant
messaging or any other similar site or activity during class will be asked to put away their
computers and will not be allowed to use them for the rest of the semester.
Make-up Policy- Make-up work, as a rule, will not be permitted. Only in extraordinary
circumstances this may be considered. The professor reserves the right to determine the format
of any make-up exam.
Incomplete Policy- Only emergency situations that prohibit a student from completing the
course will warrant a grade of “I”. Therefore, it will not be given automatically.
Assignments Policy- All written assignments are due by the start of class. Late assignments
(after class starts) will be penalized as follows: 1(starting after class starts)-2 days (-10%), 3-4
days (-20%), 5-7 days (-30%), 7+ days not accepted.
All papers must be completed per APA 6th edition guidelines (see www.apastyle.org). That
includes, but is not limited to, using double-spacing, as well as standard fonts (Times New
Roman 12) and margins (1 inch on all sides). Page number requirements do not include the cover
page, reference pages or appendices. For all assignments: References counted as ‘required’
include ONLY peer reviewed journal articles or book chapters published from a scholarly press
(such as Columbia University Press, Free Press, Allyn & Bacon, etc. [ask if you are not sure]).
Other references may be utilized; however, they do not count as a required reference.
COMMUNICATION WITH STUDENTS - All communications will be sent ONLY to your
KSU e-mail address and you should check it at least weekly. I will send all enrolled students
occasional e-mail updates on course-related information (e.g., course Web site updates and
additions, last minute class cancellations, etc.). If you have not activated your KSU e-mail, you
should do so as soon as possible. Information on activating and using your KSU e-mail can be
found at http://students.kennesaw.edu. I also strongly encourage students to use e-mail as an
immediate way of communicating with me. I will return emails, typically within 48 from when
they were received, between the hours of 9:00am-4:00pm on normal business days. If you
contact me on a weekend, holiday, or break I will try to return your email on the next business
day. As a general guide, I will also try to return drafts and papers within a week.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY STATEMENT
The high quality of education at Kennesaw State University is reflected in the credits and
degrees its students earn. All assignments that take place in and out of the classroom must be
your own work and original for this course. The protection of these high standards is crucial
since the validity and equity of the University's grades and degrees depend upon it. Any student
found to have violated any KSU academic honesty regulation after a hearing before a university
hearing panel or before the Vice President for Student Success and Enrollment Services (or
his/her designee) shall be suspended for at least one semester, unless the student persuades the
deciding body that the circumstances of his or her behavior substantially mitigate the gravity of
the violation. These regulations are designed to assist students in (1) developing appropriate
attitudes about, and (2) understanding and following the university’s standards relating to
academic honesty. The regulations protect students by helping them avoid committing
infractions that may compromise the completion of their KSU degrees or damage their
reputations.
Forms of Academic Dishonesty





Plagiarism and Cheating: No student shall receive, attempt to receive, knowingly give or
attempt to give unauthorized assistance in the preparation of any work required to be
submitted for credit as part of a course (including examinations, laboratory reports, essays,
themes, term papers, etc.). When direct quotations are used, they should be indicated, and
when the ideas, theories, data, figures, graphs, programs, electronic based information or
illustrations of someone other than the student are incorporated into a paper or used in a
project, they should be duly acknowledged.
Unauthorized Access to Official University Materials: No student shall take or attempt to
take, steal or in any unauthorized manner otherwise procure, gain access to, alter or destroy
any material pertaining to the conduct of a class (including tests, examinations, grade change
forms, grade rolls, roll books, laboratory equipment, University grade records in written or
computerized form, etc.), library or other academic resource material.
Misrepresentation, Fabrication, Falsification of University Records or Academic Work:
No student shall knowingly provide false information in completing University forms or
applications (including admissions forms, scholarship applications, time sheets, use of false
or counterfeit transcripts, etc.) or in any work submitted for credit as part of a course.
Multiple Submissions: Submissions of substantial portions of either written or oral
academic work that has previously earned credit, when such submission is made without
instructor authorization.
Complicity in Academic Dishonesty: Intentionally or knowingly contributing to the
academic dishonesty of another.
These examples of academic dishonesty shall not be construed to be comprehensive, and
infractions will be dealt with on an individual basis according to university policies and
procedures. It is the obligation of each student to assist in the enforcement of academic
standards.
See: The KSU Student Code of Conduct: http://www.kennesaw.edu/scai/code_of_conduct.shtml
When students plagiarize they do not possess the knowledge or understanding that they claim to
have (and for which they plan to receive credit). Giving credit to other people’s genius is the
best reflection on the student, for it demonstrates your scholarship, knowledge, and influences.
Using outside sources to develop ideas about a topic shows that the writer understands what
experts in the field have written. You must, however, give credit to the sources of your
inspiration. If you use any texts or websites that have inspired your answers, please cite them
directly, preferable with parenthetical documentation and an attached Works Cited Page.
Enforcement: This policy is strictly enforced. Please note, the instructor reserves the right to
randomly select any paper and/or assignment that are turned in for a grade for plagiarism review.
Plagiarism review consists of running your paper/assignment through various search engines and
databases at my disposal in order to check for “borrowed” or “bought” information. If you are
found in violation of academic dishonesty, then you will be subject to the enforcement policies
and procedures, as outlined by Kennesaw State University and the Department of Social Work
and Human Services, pertaining to academic dishonesty. Any student found guilty of cheating
or plagiarizing, in any form or to any degree, will automatically FAIL this course. All
infractions will be handled according to University Policy as outlined in the KSU Student Code
of Conduct and per the authority of the Office of Student Conduct and Academic Integrity.
Students may be subject to additional academic disciplinary action by the Department of Social
Work and Human Services & the Wellstar College of Health and Human Services. All records
pertaining to actionable grievances will be retained in the student’s academic file and on record.
NOTE: Any student(s) found to have copied another student’s work will be treated as
plagiarists, and any student(s) involved will face the possibility of expulsion from this class.
Know that the faculty, me included, takes academic dishonesty very seriously. If you feel
compelled or pushed to commit an infraction or are unsure of an assignment please seek
immediate help from the Department Chair, Dr. Monica Nandan or the instructor of record.
DISABILITY SERVICES
In compliance with applicable disability law, qualified students with a disability may be entitled
to reasonable accommodation. Any student with a documented disability (hidden or visible)
needing academic adjustments, including classroom or test accommodations is requested to
notify the instructor within the first two weeks of the course. Verification from KSU disAbled
