It should be noted that grades in the field practicum relate to how students develop skills, their actual performance, how they translate knowledge into skills and interactions, and generally how they use themselves in a productive and professional manner. Success is not based solely on good intentions, of potential, but on performance. Lack of success often relates to the inability to, or reticence to, use one's self appropriately, or difficulty assuming the social work role. As in actual work situations, performance is assessed and evaluated. Such evaluations by professionals in the field, and field supervisors, are a substantial part of the bases of grades. You should be aware that grades relate to what you do and how you perform.
