One of your main assignments will involve the preparation of an analytical essay that provides a
critical examination of a case relevant to CYC. The assignment is intended to help you integrate
and demonstrate your learning about CYC theory and practice. It is also intended to help you
develop your skills in research and academic writing. You may work alone or in groups of up to 4
students. Your case analysis report should describe and analyze the issue, including the needs of
young people involved, mandate of service agencies involved in addressing the issue, roles of
practitioners. You are also expected to integrate critical equity and anti-oppressive perspectives.
The report must draw on at least 8 references (excluding course readings), including at least 4
peer-reviewed scholarly sources. You may also draw upon grey literature (e.g., government
reports, advocacy papers) and professional literature (e.g., articles from CYC professional
journals). The report must be between 8-10 pages (~2,000-3,500 words, double-spaced, not
including title page or references), with 12-point Times New Roman font), and formatted
according to standards of the American Psychological Association (APA).
