Navigating Your Work Experience Course
Before the Course Starts:
- Read over the website and schedule an appointment during office hours located on the main page.
- Carefully read the Learning Objectives guidance.
- Download your Student Handbook.
- Present the handbook to your immediate supervisor.
- With the assistance of your immediate supervisor, develop 3 learning objectives and record them in your handbook.
- Within a week email your objectives to your instructor for approval.
- Have your supervisor sign the work agreement in the handbook before you start your experience. This is mandatory.
- Once your instructor approves your objectives you will store your handbook in your Google Folder created in your initial meeting.
During the Semester:
- Work diligently and efficiently throughout the semester to make maximum progress on your job-related learning objectives.
- Check in as needed with your work experience instructor using the office hours scheduler on the main page.
- Log and record your hours worked in your handbook or with Additional Hour Tracking Forms with your supervisor's signature and turn them in prior to the end of the semester.
- Schedule your worksite visit with your instructor and supervisor.
Three Weeks Before the End of the Semester:
- Use the office hour scheduler on the main page to set up your final appointment with your instructor and go over your handbook.
- Have your employer fill out your performance evaluation in your handbook and present it to your instructor.
- Write your final reflection on your experience and add it to your Google Folder from the initial meeting.
- Make sure your completed handbook is turned into your instructor at the end of the semester so your grade can be submitted for the course.
- Consider reenrolling in work experience again for the next semester.
