Graduate Intern Evaluation
Graduate internships will be evaluated as follows:
- Fifty percent (50%) of the final course evaluation will come from the organizational/site supervisor. Each student will be reviewed against a set of performance objectives established at the beginning of the internship and specified on the learning agreement. The site supervisor will complete two evaluation forms and submit them to the director of internships. The first evaluation form will be completed at the midpoint of the internship and the second evaluation form will be completed after the conclusion of the internship.
- Fifty percent (50%) of the final course evaluation will come from the director of internships. Timely completion of all forms and writing assignments as specified in the CMN 591 course syllabus including the internship final report will be variables in determining the portion of the final course evaluation.
