Editing internship assignments

• Work logs—submitted weekly
• Three written reports
• Advice to future interns
• Oral presentation
• Midservice and final evaluations by internship supervisor

Adjusting the homework for any number of credit hours other than three

If you have enrolled for fewer or more credit hours than three, make the following adjustments to your homework:

• For more than three credit hours, lengthen reports 2 and 3 by one page each.
• For two credits, write two papers—the midterm paper and the final paper—as well as give the oral presentation.
• For one credit, write the midterm and final paper, but do not give the oral presentation.

No matter how many credit hours you sign up for, you must do all the reading.

Outcomes

• Students will set four types of goals for their internship, then modify them as needed during the internship.
• Students will strengthen existing skills and/or gain new skills.
• Students will correlate their experiences to the stages of a standard internship.
• Students will seek solutions to problems that arise on site, as reported in the work logs and reports.
• Students will explain what they learned and contributed during the internship and what advice they have for future interns at that site.
• From the onsite internship supervisor, each student will receive a rating of at least “satisfactory” on the majority of the scales on the final evaluation form.

work logs	20%
