in 10 domains of professional practice as well as reports and case studies which also demonstrate their knowledge and skills.

• It depends on the major and the internship. • PowerPoint presentation summarizing the organization • The Senior Capstone Project is designed to be a culminating experience toward the end of your

internship experience. The project will be the capstone experience of your major studies. It will bring together all the knowledge you have gained in the major and should show your breadth of knowledge in Therapeutic Recreation. This is a project needed by the agency, not just dreamed up to provide an experience for you. It can be research-based to help the agency develop and evaluate programs and activities. Or it can be developmental in nature, helping the agency address a specific need. The project can also be a cooperative venture with other interns if the scope of the project merits, and the agency supervisor approves it.

25. How do you evaluate the student’s work and come up with the student’s grade?

• If it's complete and submitted on time, the student receives full credit (A). If not complete or not submitted, the student fails.

• That part is handled by someone else. • By evaluating each required component • Student reports, journals and self-evaluation; on-site supervisor evaluation; faculty journal

reading • 199R -- Employer evaluation, Student letter 399R -- Employer evaluation, Student internship

report with case studies and evaluation. • We have a grading scale. Each assignment is worth a certain number of points. Each emphasis

awards different point values, but the structure and assignments are the same. • Through a combination of reports, papers, portfolio and work supervisor evaluation. • Read weekly logs, read final report, use evaluation form filled out by onsite supervisor. • Students complete weekly quizzes and write brief essays about their experiences from week to

week. For multiple credit hours, they write a paper and give an oral presentation, the grading for which is guided by a rubric.

• Follow guide lines set up by the Health Science Dept. • Employers report, students reports • Supervising internship sponsor completes a survey and provided the grade • Projects + employer evaluation • Read papers, assign points for turning in logs and for completing required number of hours. • Have written reflections once a month, have conference, have hours logs, evaluations • Online exams, practical exams, affective objectives • Did the student pass the open book exam, complete the number of required weekly reports, did

they answer the emails, and the final report. The weekly reports and the final report must be written in a professional manner.

• 50% hours worked, 50% quality of product, self-evaluation, and provider evaluation • NA (I don't do the grades) • 75% of the grade is given by the students' faculty coordinators who oversee the academic

component of the internship; the other 25% is given by the students' evaluations from their internship provider, including a record of hours worked.

• A grade is based on a rubric, observation, and assessment • The main consideration is full completion of the required hours and two written reports. The

internship supervisor's final evaluation is also instrumental in knowing if the student completed all their hours and their internship duties to the supervisor's satisfaction. Since we grade P/F, very few students do not meet the minimum requirements to pass.

• Hours, satisfactory approval from on-site supervisor, journal entries, self-assessment exercise and reflection paper.
