Greetings and how we will use this Blog

Greetings to students in the Research Practicum from the US and Lithuania!
We will use this blog to discuss course topics with each other.  We will also use it to inform each other about social work evaluation in our different countries, by posting the answers for the questions in the first assignment.
Here is the assignment:

“Getting to know your agency” report on Our Blog (25%): This assignment is geared toward helping the student/student group become acquainted with the agency with which they are working (internship or employment) and then sharing the information with the class in the US and Lithuania so you become familiar with agencies in the US and in Lithuania.  If a student is not currently in an agency, the student should join his/her group members in working with the agency associated with the group’s interest and advanced focus of study.  You will learn and describe the following in your paper:

-      the agency’s mission,

-      the types of services provided,

-      the way services are evaluated,

-      research that is carried out about services, and

-      how the agency is funded,

-      Your thoughts about the posts of other students.
