What questions should be considered when determining whether a social policy should be targeted for intervention in a specific client situation?
Highlighted core competencies, throughout the text, with: • a practice behavior example for that competency • a critical thinking question to help students apply the competency through a critical thinking lens
Practice Test questions build on each other with three types of questions. Students go from — 1. assessing basic knowledge, to 2. understanding larger themes and concepts, to 3. applying the concepts and themes with mini-case study questions.
