Planned Sequence of Topics and/or Learning Activities
- All students must attend and participate in a co-op meeting arranged by the Course Coordinator.
- All students must work a minimum of 200 hours during the semester period in which the student is enrolled in the course. Students will maintain a log to register days, times, and total hours worked that will be signed by the student and the student’s immediate supervisor. The log will be turned in by the student to the Course Coordinator, to be verified with the employer, and it will be evaluated by the Course Coordinator as a part of the student’s final grade.
- All students will complete an in-depth typewritten project and submit one copy to his/her employer and two copies to the Course Coordinator and keep one copy for his/her personal file. (See project requirements for the required contents and criteria for evaluation for each project.)
- Each student will be evaluated by his/her employer, using the criteria established by the Course Coordinator in conjunction with the employer’s standards of performance.
- Each student will submit a resume.
