Linda was quick and as always correct. My school splits us into micro -- Individuals, Families & Groups and Macro -- Organizations and Communities. The micro vs macro debate rages amonst my fellow classmate because many of them want more of a mix or want to do both. For example, if you plan to go micro and want to run your own practice, I'd bet the Financial Management class that I'

Thanks, Linda. This was very helpful.

I found a few resources on macro social work:

My belief is that the line between micro-mezzo-macro practice is not that clear cut...social workers in clinical or direct practice may also be advocates

Amy Rose-
I'd love to hear more about what you are calling MACRO. We have clinical and admin MSW tracks, and I am guessing it is similar to admin?

I am an eternal procrasinator. I can sit down a week ahead and try to start writing and get like a paragraph done and then I'm off wandering the internet or convincing myself i need to research more, organize more, plan more and getting very little done. I've actually gotten a lot better at not doing this so far this year . . . but that's mostly because now that I'm in the

Thanks for your thoughts! That's great that you can work ahead! The first half of the semester was a little hectic, and I was working on keeping-up. Now I will work on getting ahead.

Thanks, Ash. It helps me to get a sense of how others do it and how I stack up, too! I am sure other people will benefit from hearing about "how it works" for all of us...

Well, I'm almost done with a treatment paper and case study that are due mid-November. I have a very busy work and intern schedule, so I try and get as much schoolwork done as possible to minimize my stress. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. My course load isn't as heavy as yours though. However, I plan to go full-time next year! >:O

Ash-

I rarely do "last minute work," but sometimes I cut it close. I am wondering how far ahead you work?

I work ahead as much as possible. I get worried/freaked out when I do last minute work, so I try to avoid it as much as possible!
