The free-form comments on course evaluations between 2016 and 2020, submitted upon course completion, were analyzed for themes. Three overarching themes emerged: Course content, course timing, and delivery format. Comments related to course content fell into two categories; those related to the usefulness of the information and materials during students’ academic careers and those related to the course content aiding in the preparation for future careers as social workers. Many students commented on their thoughts related to how the course content has aided in their development as future professionals.

The course evaluations contained statements related to the timing of the course within the BSW program curriculum. The comments conveyed suggestions that the course be taught prior to the search for practicum placements as the information presented aids in the development of resume and interviewing skills.

This also highlights the necessity for such information to be provided possibly even earlier, for first generations students in particular.
