Economics 2481 - Internship - Field StudyA. Instructions For Student’s Journal Reports 1. Students are required to maintain a weekly journal of activities for the duration of the internship. The purpose of this journal is to document that the student is learning from experiences on the job. A typical weekly entry should be as long as it takes to accurately describe your activities, but at least one single-spaced typed page. Each week's entry should be identified by week (dates). 2. The journal entries to date should be submitted before mid-term evaluations and at the end of the semester. Thus mid-term entries are typically due around October 15 in the fall semester, just before Spring Break in the winter semester, and by August 1 in summer session. Course-end entries are due on the last day of the semester. If possible, please submit your journal by email, either as an attached Word file or as a PDF document (e.g., scanned copy of handwritten originals). 3. Each week’s entry into your journal should contain your reflections on what you have done and learned during the week, and how things are going at your work site. More explicitly they should answer questions like the following:
4. Please, add any other reflections you may have on your work/learning experience. B. Evaluation Reports from your Site Supervisor (Click here for form) We ask that at midterm and final time your site supervisor submit an evaluation of your work. They may submit the evaluation by mail, fax, or email. They may use the form provided (see below), or may simply write their impressions in free-form style. Occasionally, site supervisors are late in sending in their reports, and you will be asked to assist in requesting their report. Basically, we need to know from your site supervisor that you are coming to work promptly as required and are performing adequately all assignments. It would also be helpful to know the nature of the assignments and learning experiences. Further guidance on evaluation reports is given in the report questionnaire. C. Grading Econ 2481 is for 2 credits. It is graded as S (satisfactory) or U (unsatisfactory). |
