4 Credits (1 Lecture 0 Lab 3 Clinical) 10 Hrs/Wk (1 Hr. Lecture 9Hrs.

A weekly one hour seminar will assist the student to process and integrate knowledge gained in the foundation courses with the experiential learning gained at the field site. It will serve as a forum for sharing field experiences and provides students with a peer support group. The focus will be on developing the skills necessary for human services practice, i.e., observation, human relations, interviewing, self-awareness, and leadership.

3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop) 3 Hrs/Wk (3 Hrs. Lecture) *15 wks The Asian Tradition will provide students with an overview of the largest continent starting with the religion, history, and literature of Ancient India and the Chinese Dynasties, and continue through medieval Asia with the emergence of Japan and Southeast Asia. Because of Asia's vast size, the development of the various cultures was distinct. Unique art, literature, and religious traditions emerged, but the extraordinary diversity was often accompanied with mistrust and conflict. The course ends with an examination of modern Asia and an investigation of how the volatile current events (India/Pakistan, North/South Korea, China/Tibet, China/Taiwan,) are the product of ages-old cultural traditions.
