EXPECTATIONS

FOR FACULTY COMMITTEE MEMBERS

  • Attend pre- and post-internship committee meetings.
  • Give feedback on rough draft paper within one week of receipt.
  • Grade final paper and student's performance in the internship. 

 EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FIELD SUPERVISOR

  • Design an internship experience that allows student growth and a variety of experiences, providing at least an introduction to the full range of work accomplished by the organization.
  • Complete the field placement contract, indicating the Intern's work, hours, and job responsibilities.
  • Train and supervise the Intern in his/her work roles. (Clerical work should not be the main work of the student. Agencies vary in specialization of workers, and students must expect to help when needed, along with everyone else. However, students should not be used routinely as a means of catching up on backed up paperwork.)
  • Provide a reading list for the student, as appropriate for the work experience.
  • Evaluate student's performance on site, at midterm and at the end of the internship.
  • If possible, attend the student intern's pre- and post-internship committee meetings.
  • Monitor the student's work and notify the Internship Coordinator if the intern fails to complete the promised hours or if there are any problems.
