The letter of intent is a critical part of the application. It is the first writing sample an applicant submits to the faculty. Reviewers will consider both the content and writing skills of the letter of intent. Respond to each area listed below in paragraph format. The length of your letter of intent should be approximately 2-4 typed and double-spaced pages, not to exceed four. Your name should appear in the upper right-hand corner of each page. I. What is your understanding of the social work profession? II. Career Goals What interested you in pursuing social work as a profession? How did this interest develop? In what special fields of social work do you have an interest? If you trained for or worked in another field, why are you proposing to get a social work degree? III. Life Experiences Related to Social Work Social work requires working with people of diversified backgrounds with varied problems and the capacity for understanding and helping people. What experiences have you had in working with people of diversified backgrounds and how would these experiences help you work with people of diversified backgrounds? In what other ways have your experiences contributed to your interest in social work? Describe experiences in family relationships, group relationships, work, volunteer, recreational activities, etc., which you think affect your potential for social work. What are your strengths, as you perceive them, which you think will stand you in good stead as a social worker? What professional areas do you target for growth as you engage in social work? IV. Graduate School Readiness Graduate School is time-consuming and academically challenging. How do you plan to balance the demands of your personal life with the academic demands of graduate school? All MSW programs require experiential learning through field education courses that take place in an agency setting as an integral part of social work education. Due to the experiential nature and supervision requirements, field education courses will be completed in an agency setting during normal business hours to provide an opportunity to develop competencies in areas prescribed by the Council on Social Work Education educational standards (evenings and weekends are the exceptions). This is often challenging for part-time, online students or students trying to work full-time. Please describe your plan to be available to intern in the agency during normal business hours to ensure the field is a successful part of your educational experience.

Sustainability in agriculture is a combination of producing adequate amounts of food for a growing population and reducing food waste. In this discussion, we will work as a class to understand more about sustainable agriculture, and the role of science and innovation in the pursuit of this goal. Here is what you need to do. For your main post (due by Friday) Select one of the three Topic Options below, and view the associated video. Option 1 – Genetically Modified Organisms GMOs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TmcXYp8xu4 Option 2 – Organic Foods https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PmM6SUn7Es Option 3 – Food Waste https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/almost-half-americas-food-go-waste In a detailed paragraph, explain why you chose the topic you selected, and what you knew about this topic before doing this assignment. In a detailed paragraph, summarize what you learned about your selected topic from the video. How does this differ from your previous knowledge about the topic? In a detailed paragraph, specify if you agree with what you learned on your selected topic. Explain why or why not. If you do not agree with what you saw, share a resource that supports your perspective on the topic.

Start by reading the article denoted “state openings” in the Coronavirus folder in Files. This will provide some information on the topic, especially different states’ policies. There should be some discussion of this or similar information early in your paper. 2. Access the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Dashboard through this link https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/ (Links to an external site.) You will find a button titled: Timeline of COVID-19 policies, cases, and, deaths in your state. This provides access to the type of interactive graphs we viewed in class. Pick any two states to conduct analysis. Some are more interesting than others. You may also, for extra credit, consider additional states. Observe the data and see what relationships might exist, or not, between opening policy and infection rates. Understand that nothing is conclusive here but you can certainly draw some initial observations. In this section, you will discuss this analysis. 3. The data provided is very basic and there may be alternative explanations of infection rates. Discuss these possibilities. You may use outside sources but they are not required. If you do use any you must cite them. 4. Discuss opening/closing policy in terms of the concepts in today’s lecture and Chapters 1 and 2. Scarcity, opportunity costs, trade-offs, incentives, etc. 5. Draw some conclusions from all the information you considered in your paper on what you think policies should be. THERE ARE NO RIGHT OR WRONG ANSWERS. There is a wide range of answers. For example, you may feel strongly one way or another. Or you might decide there is not yet enough research to inform policy. You are graded on creative thinking and linking this final normative analysis to the positive analysis that comprised the majority of your paper—not on your opinions. Outside sources are not required but you are encouraged to use them. If you use a source you must cite it. Also, paraphrase, don’t directly quote. NO media! The good writing style is stressed. Divide your paper into logical, separate sections The numbers above may suggest a section structure but use whatever you think is best. Delineate sections with subheadings. Use proper paragraph structure and watch spelling and grammar. I grade on quality not quantity. Normally I might suggest a length. I am not going here. I want to see your creativity, interest, and knowledge. I want this exercise to be fun and stimulating.

Conduct a database search for a quasi-experimental study that pertains to professions in the healthcare or business field. > Examine the study and describe how the study is similar to an experimental study. >What confounds, if any, did you identify? >Describe any threats to internal or external validity you identified. >Discuss whether pre-experimental designs were part of the overall research design. Assuming that the study consisted of measures that were both reliable and valid, what are some implications of this research for individuals in healthcare and/or business?

1. Statement of need/problem to be addressed. Provide specific information about the extent and degree of the problem. This should include agency/organization data as well local, state and national data on the need /problem. This is where the use of census data (U.S., Florida and county) as well as organizational reports can be helpful. In addition, there should be some explanation, using journal article literature, that notes how the problem/need may have been addressed previously. For example, are there pilot projects that have been tested; or, evaluations of innovative programs/interventions. The purpose of this review of literature is to provide a justification for the particular project/program for which you are requesting funding. ******* The problem I chose was “High rate of HIV/AIDS in the LGBTQ community living in The Key West. My project/program I’m requesting funds for is to provide aid education to selected groups of the LGBTQ community.
