The purpose of the analysis paper is to look back on the semester, the community project or the policy analysis project, and your commitment and focus in social work. The paper should include information about what you learned from the assignment, group work, communication and macro practice as it applies to working with the chosen organization. You should also reflect on what micro, mezzo, and macro skills you applied to the project throughout the semester, how you can improve on those skills and explain how the community benefitted from your efforts. Lastly, you should include feedback about what was useful about assignment and what you would change.
