My project met this outcome because I applied the research, writing, and analysis skills I already learned to a new assignment. I evaluated multiple credible sources, integrated them using APA style, and used quotes and paraphrases to support my ideas accurately. By examining two points of view and applying academic writing strategies, I demonstrated my ability to transfer knowledge and skills to new situations effectively.

Analyze and design intervention strategies to improve social policies impacting client systems at individual, organizational, and community levels.
HUSS450, Public Policy and Social Advocacy, HUSS450 Portfolio Project.
This project met the outcome by helping me to analyze a vulnerable population and create advocacy strategies that could improve social policies that affect them at multiple levels. By explaining the group’s needs, summarizing the law that should be changed, and comparing different advocacy methods, I evaluated how each strategy could create real policy impact. Including pros, cons, solutions, and ethical guidelines helped me design interventions that support individuals, organizations, and the community.

Analyze the impact and interaction of public policy issues with human services, including legal considerations and funding mechanisms related to non-profit, private, and public human services agencies.
HUSS130, Cultural Competence in the Health Services, HUSS130 Report.
This project met the outcome by helping me connect public policy issues to actual experiences in human services. When reflecting on my IAT results, I evaluated how personal biases can interact with laws, agency practices, and funding decisions in nonprofit, private, and public settings. Analyzing the topics helped me consider how cultural competence can affect policies and services. This reflection showed how legal and policy structures shape the clients’ experiences.

Demonstrate professional competencies related to the successful planning and implementation of human services, inclusive of values, attitudes, and ethics common to the field.
HUSS360, Communication and Interviewing Skills for Human Services, HUSS360 Portfolio Project.
This project met the outcome by showing how professional competencies are involved in every stage of planning and delivering human services. By doing a mock intake interview, selecting assessments, and reflecting on verbal/ nonverbal communication, I demonstrated important skills. The project also connected values, ethics, and legal requirements to decision making, client documentation, and follow up communication. This showed how ethical guidelines and professional attitudes shape service implementation.

Assess needs, design a plan of action for an identified problem, implement the plan systematically and evaluate its effectiveness.
HUSS125, Family Theory and Services, HUSS125 Memo.
This project met the outcome by assessing the needs of the cultural group that was chosen and designing a plan that considered history, values, and communication patterns. When researching and using primary and secondary sources, I examined assumptions and adjusted my perspective based on evidence. The memo demonstrated implementation through analysis and organized presentation, and the reflection evaluated the effectiveness of this learning by showing growth in cultural awareness and reduced bias.

HUSS235, Crisis Intervention, HUSS235 Portfolio Project
This project met the outcome by showing an understanding of human conditions that make societal challenges and factors that support successful functioning. Using the Hybrid Model of Crisis Intervention, I studied this scenario’s stressors, resources, and coping issues. The project had a multiple step crisis plan, emphasized safety and stabilization, and gave tailored family recommendations to build resilience. The work linked theory to practice and showed how informed interventions can promote recovery and long-term well-being.

Employ strategies for reflection on learning and practice in order to adjust learning processes for continual improvement.
PHIL310, Logic and Reasoning, PHIL310 Portfolio Project.
This project met the outcome because I reflected on my reasoning process while breaking down and symbolizing the selected argument. By analyzing it step-by-step, creating a counterargument, and responding with evidence, I strengthened my ability to evaluate arguments. The correct symbolization, lack of syntax errors, and alignment between the verbal and symbolic forms show that I adapted my learning strategies, improved my accuracy, and applied logical methods for growth in reasoning skills.
