Internships: GRADING/Duration

All interns will receive a letter grade derived from their employer/work supervisor’s evaluation of their performance at the mid and end point of the semester and the instructor’s evaluation of the student’s portfolio/final project, reflection essays and work evaluation forms, along with any other pertinent criteria.

Grade weights are stipulated in the course syllabus. Letter grades will follow the default Canvas grading scheme.

Students are expected to complete the internship from start to finish (the semester end) to receive a grade and course credit unless there is a significant workplace issue preventing this and an exception is granted by the Communication School internship course supervisor.
