Portland Community College | Portland, Oregon

• HUS 110 Introduces the history, mission, scope and context of child welfare services and practice, including the underlying philosophy of the field. Includes a survey of the present conditions, cultural and relationship issues, and outcomes of service delivery in both public and private child welfare settings.

• Weekly attendance and active in-class participation are essential to creating a learning community.  If you are not in attendance, you miss many opportunities for learning.  As a result, if you miss a class, leave early, or arrive you may not receive participation points for that particular class meeting.  

• We will use D2L/Brightspace as a digital platform for course materials and resources. From time to time, the instructor may post discussion questions on D2L/Brightspace.  All students are expected to participate in these discussions, and points will be awarded toward your participation credit for the week.

• Students will be required to conduct off-campus research and interviews on community human services programs.

HUS110 is a hybrid course with weekly live Zoom meetings and online course materials and assignments. Students will need access to Zoom through a computer or phone interface with both microphone and camera. 

Texts and supplemental materials are all available in the D2L course-space under “content” and are arranged by week.
