What is required in a fieldwork course?
In addition to a minimum of 60 hours of work in an agency required over the course of the semester, fieldwork courses require that the student write a substantial term paper that integrates the field experience with appropriate library research related to the practicum experience. For example, a student whose fieldwork involves working in a school for children diagnosed as “autistic,” will submit a term paper that relates his or her experiences in the field to library research s/he has done on autism.
