This course is a part of a two- part series on social work research: SW 199.1, and SW 199.2. The first course  aims to introduce  students to theories and methods of research in the context of social work practice  While SW199.1 focuses on the theoretical study of research,  SW199.2 covers its practical application. 

The main output of SW199.1 is a research proposal to be submitted at the end of the semester. If approved and accepted by the professor, the proposal may be implemented in SW199.2 in coordination with the designated professor. 

As we are in a pandemic era, students are expected to carry out research through online methods.
