When the counselor etc. Answers need to be thorough enough to demonstrate your
understanding of each concept.
If you use information from the text and/or outside references the information needs to be documented and
direct quotes should be used minimally. In giving your answers, imagine that you are explaining this information
to someone who has no prior knowledge of counseling terms, concepts and issues. The paper should not be
cut and pasted but a reflection and application of your knowledge gained from the course. Each section should
be well developed and include enough information to convince the reader that you understand the concepts,
relationships, and issues you are discussing and are not simply reporting the information.
