Human Services
Please select one of the following options and write a three-four page paper. Papers must include a cover page and reference/bibliography page (separate from the
report). I have very stringent policy regarding honesty, plagiarism and other forms of cheating. Please do not take other people’s work and pass it off as your own. In
addition, previously submitted assignments in other courses will be deemed as being dishonest. All papers are required to be submitted through turnitin.com via Canvas
which provides me with a detailed explanation as to whether your work is your own, someone else’s, or turned it in another course. Please use the APA format when
writing and referencing other people’s work. Please feel free to use outside sources (that are appropriate, ie. no wikipedia, etc.). But please do not submit a paper
that uses a large percentage of other people’s work. I want to read what you have to say in written form. Although this is not an English class, grammar, spelling and
presentation will be considered upon grading. The majority of your citations should be from the book: Theory, Practice & Trends in Human Services, 6th edition, by
Neukrug. Chapters 1 and 21. Identify the education, coursework, additional training, credentialing, and salaries of various social service professionals.1.
