Absences: Because the seminar only runs for seven weeks, it is very important that each student attend all meetings. You may have 1 excused absence without lowering your grade.

Otherwise you will miss out on pertinent information you will be expected to know upon entering the practicum. Grades: There will be five components to your final grade. o Attendance Each seminar is worth 20 pts. o Quizzes A quiz will be given in each seminar and will be worth 20 points each. o Homework/Activities Each assignment will be worth 20 points, and these points will be factored in your participation grade. o Participation Each seminar is worth 20 participation points. There will be activities and discussion in each seminar. Failure to participate in these activities (role playing, group activities, etc.) or discussion will result in points lost from your participation grade.
o WoodsEdge Visits You will be required to visit WoodsEdge for four one-hour sessions during the semester. Each visit is worth 20 points. If you fail to cancel your visit at least one hour in advance via email, you will lose your points for that visit. All four visits must be completed prior to enrollment in the practicum.
