谁是参与
学生实习生负责搜索、申请和申请 接受实习. This is great practice for when they graduate 和 are looking for full-time employment. 这是学生的 responsibility to ensure that their academic department will approve the 经验 for academic credit, as well as submit all appropriate paperwork by the appropriate deadlines.
Although the student will be working for their interning organization, it is also important they remember they are representing GVSU 和 their academic department. 为 this reason, all students should act in a professional 和 ethical manner 和 will be held to the provisions outlined 在 学生手册 (教员) internship coordinator may want to reiterate).
的 site or field supervisor is responsible for overseeing the work 学生实习生. Ideally, this person will serve as a mentor to 学生,提供了有用的建议,行业和方法 在这个领域取得成功. It is also important for this person to have 有实习领域的经验和知识. 为 例如,如果雇主正在找人创建营销 商标,通常对学生来说更有意义如果它们是 interning for someone who has a graphic design or marketing background.
的 site supervisor should also provide feedback on the intern’s work throughout the duration of the internship. This can be done informally but should consist of at least one written evaluation. 我们建议 two evaluations - one halfway through the internship, one at the 结束. 就业中心确实会发出征求中期反馈的请求 和 final employer 和 student evaluations for many campus 部门/单位. Additional information on the Internship 管理 System (IMS) can be found below.
学院实习协调员负责帮助 intern integrate 他们的实习 into their total academic 经验. 这对……很重要 intern to meet with their faculty internship coordinator prior to starting the internship to make sure 实习将计入学分,只能是 经学院批准. This will also help the student underst和 the assignments required throughout the semester. 教师实习 协调员也可以作为一种有用的资源来确定 possible internship sites 和 locations that would appropriately fit the student’s academic 和 professional needs.

组件
就像其他课程一样,实习课程也应该有一个 课程教学大纲. This will help the student underst和 the requirements of the internship 和 gain an underst和ing of what they should be learning throughout the course of 他们的实习.

在学生实习之初,很重要的一点是 them to develop a set of 学习目标. 这最好在室内完成 与他们的现场主管合作,这样他们就可以建立 帮助他们实现目标的具体项目/任务 客观的. As the faculty internship coordinator, you can then review the 客观的s 和 make suggestions as needed. 这是有帮助的 学习目标 to be both academic - 和 career-driven as this will help the student begin to see 和 apply theoretical application 和 可转移技能(i.e.: gain a better underst和ing of the societal effects of a community garden 在 Southwest area of 大急流城 和 develop public speaking skills).
Reflective assignments help the student connect what they are doing in 他们的实习 to theories 和 concepts they have learned 在 教室. Active, intentional, critical reflection is what helps transform the work 经验 into a learning 经验 (Sweitzer 和 王,2018). Reflective assignments can include:
- 日志(通过结构化提示或非结构化自由格式)
- 作品集/电子作品集展示工作和学习的样本 outcomes, final projects
