Internship Course Grading

The class is graded on a pass/fail basis. However, the standards for credit will be high. The student’s department will provide a list of their specific requirements, which may include a daily journal, an internship documentation form, and a final paper. The internship is a professional experience, and students will be held to a professional standard with respect to organization, content, and writing of both the journal and paper.

Each department has a Faculty Internship Coordinator who can assist students in gaining credit for their internship experience. The Faculty Internship Coordinator, or their designee, will be responsible for grading students’ final papers. They also will assist students in any academic concerns involving their internships.

The company with which a student interns should appoint a supervisor to monitor the student’s progress. He or she will likely be responsible for assigning the student’s projects and documenting the student’s work at the end of the internship. Furthermore, the company supervisor should be the student’s primary contact when and if problems arise in the work place. Every department has specific guidelines regarding their 353 course; students should reference their department's requirements for more information.
