This is the second integrative course aimed at reviewing students’ second field education experience in their final year of study. As this is the last integrative course before students graduate, they are expected to raise and discuss more complex or challenging issues in their second field placement, compared to the first integrative course SWK487. Students are also expected to reflect on their two field education experiences, make comparisons and review their learning journeys in these two different placements.
