From INTERNSHIP EVALUATION REPORT Spring 1987
5. The sponsoring function should entail certain specified obligations.
We recommend two:
1. Direct contact by phone or in person between the sponsor and the work
supervisor, once before the learning contract receives final approval...., again after the internship is well underway, and finally at the completion of the
internship.
2. Regular (bi-weekly?) meetings between the sponsor and the intern.
6. Certain academic components of internship projects should be specified.
1. The keeping of a journal, as described in the current requirements for all
internships.
2. The assignment, by the Faculty Sponsor, of readings relevant to the
interrelationship of the internship and a recognized academic field.
3. The completion of an intellectual product (a piece of writing, an experiment, a
performance, etc.) capable of being evaluated by the faculty sponsor in terms
suitable to the nature and objectives of the internship.
The quality standards for all internships, summer as well as academic year, should be uniform. Finally, requirements and expectations ought to be consistent with the implications of the 300-level designation.
