Svcs for Older Adults:Assessments

Description:
Each student is expected to complete the mid-term exam, which accounts for 25% of his or her grade. The Mid-term exam is a project, which consists of compiling a source book of the following: a federally funded program, a state funded program and a not-for-profit agency that is self-supported by a variety of private funders. Each program will have the following information:
• A detailed description of the program components with reference to the legislative foundation for the program, services and benefits
• Patterns of service use and the theories of help-seeking behavior
• Talk about how service relates to the community (does it fill a need)
• Include in the source book what are the plans for the future for this agency in regards to the growth of the boomer population.
• Also identify and compare program discussed to a "best practice" on national or statewide bases that relates to the program(s) in discussion.
This book should be compiled for the first-time readerÑa person who knows nothing about the services for older adults in the community.

Academic Integrity/Student Conduct:
All individuals associated with an academic community have a responsibility for establishing, maintaining and fostering an understanding and appreciation for academic standards and values. Students are required to independently prepare class assignments. Quotations and major ideas and content from other sources must be cited and credited. Student that input into an online discussion and other class interaction must be his/her own product. Plagiarism is a basis for a failing grade. Style: Correct English grammar and spelling are required in course activities, assignments and exams. Consult an APA Style Manual Fourth Edition or current style rules for papers.
