Your internship responsibilities begin during your first full week of classes. You should be working in your agency 6-8 hours per week for 3 units of credit, or 8-10 hours per week for 4 units of credit.

Please note: If you do not get an "A" grade in journal theme #6, you cannot get an "A" in the class. If you miss more than 3 class meetings, you cannot get an "A" in the class.

Your course grade will be based on class participation and attendance, grades on your journal themes (especially #6), and the end of semester evaluation of your internship work by your supervisor.
