When and where is the exam?

What do I bring to the exam?

No calculator is required for the final exam. Make sure to bring your student ID and leave your valuables at home as all bags get left at the entrance. I normally suggest that you bring water.

What do I study?

The exam for the summer session is different than the exam from last year so comments I make during the summer broadcasts about what might NOT be on the exam should be ignored. The exam review is useful to the extent that it will highlight important components for the multiple choice section. For the short answer section of the exam (worth 40%) you should know social work skills (p.75), ethics, the four steps in the social work process with individuals, Aboriginal social work, national government policy towards Aboriginal peoples and finally the chapter on child welfare (don't emphasize the history section of this chapter).

What is the exam format?

It will be 60 % multiple choice questions and 40% essay or short answer questions.
