Advising Questions Frequently Asked By SSW Students

May SOWK 630 (Practice I), 631, or 632 (Practice II) be taken when a student is not in the first year field? NO

May a student take all his/her advanced method courses in the summer and fall?
Not all of them - at least one method course (SWCL/SWOA prefix) must be taken in each semester of advanced field. 

May a student audit a course?
Only on a space available basis and with permission of the faculty member.

May a student take a course for pass/fail?
NO, with the exception of Field Instruction courses.

Does a student need to see an academic advisor?
Yes- a student may not register for the advanced year without working out a plan of study with their advisor. This becomes crucial in the Spring semester when students register for fall classes.

What is Plagiarism?
"Plagiarism is using someone's work without giving it appropriate credit" For example, much of this discussion is quoted from www.ehhs.cmich.edu/mspears/plagiarism.html.

Plagiarism includes copying and pasting text from articles, books, the web, newspapers, etc. If you use these sources, to avoid plagiarism, you must provide the source both in the text and in the references. By providing the source, the reader knows what is your work and what is someone else's work.Plagiarism includes using another student's work and claiming it as your own, even with permission of the student. It also includes using an essay or paper that you wrote for another class or another purpose without getting permission from the teacher/professor of the current class (self-plagiarism).

Anytime you quote, summarize, or paraphrase, you must acknowledge the original source.

At the School of Social Work, students who plagiarize will be disciplined. For a guide to citing properly, see the APA Manual or Microsoft Word (APA option) in our Computer Lab.
