Helping experience
Each student will write a paper applying the material from the course to the experience (helper, helpee, or reading). The paper should included the following:
Description of the experience. If you were the helpee or helper describe the setting, the activities you participated in, and the interactions that you had. If you did the readings, please provide a description of what you read (e.g., a brief summary of the reading).
Apply readings from the course to the experience or reading (this is the most important part of the paper!). How did the experience or reading fit or not fit the theories, research, and descriptions from the course readings? You must use at least 5 readings from the course. You may use additional readings from outside the course, but you are not required to do so.
How the experience or reading affects your approach to helping and future plans for engaging in helping relationships
The paper should be approximately 1000-1200 words in length.
