1. Completion of the Basic Experiential Learning Info Tab is due Friday, June 27 by 11:59 pm. If you have not already completed this item, please take time to fill it out as soon as possible. You do not need to have detailed paragraphs for your Learning Objectives and Action Plan, but please ensure that your responses are thoughtful enough so we have a good sense of exactly what it is you are doing this summer.
As a reminder, to complete the Basic Info Tab:
1) Log into your myUMBC account
2) Go to the TOPICS menu
3) Click on JOBS and INTERNSHIPS
4) Click on UMBCworks
5) On the homepage of your UMBCworks account, look under MORE at the bottom of the right hand side of the screen and click on "Intern/Co-op/Research/Service Requirements"
6) Click on EDIT under your *current* internship, co-op or research placement. This will take you directly to the BASIC INFO tab.
2. Mid-placement Review: For those students concurrently enrolled in Academic Credit (e.g., HONR410, PSYC398, etc) who are in their 1st semester at their internship, please note that you are also required to set up a mid-placement conference call or visit between June 23 and July 18. These meetings may be scheduled by calling 410-455-2216. If you have been at your internship more than 1 semester or are not enrolled in credit for Summer or Fall (i.e., you are ONLY in PRAC for your internship), the Review is optional.
3. If you are not in Academic Credit for your internship currently, but are interested in this option, please email us at internships@umbc.edu and a coordinator will get back to you shortly.
4. In lieu of attending *one* Professional Development Seminar in-person, you are allowed to select one of the alternate assignments described at http://tiny.cc/SU14PRACReflection and provide your reflection using the Google form. Note you only need to do *one* of the choices. The reflection should be submitted using the form by 11:59 pm on Wednesday, August 13th. If you are required to do two seminars (i.e., this is your first semester at your current site), one of them still should be in-person at UMBC or your work site. Students who have been at their current site 3 semester or more are not required to do this assignment.
Dates for the in-person Seminars are available at: http://careers.umbc.edu/news_events/calendar.php?event_type=PRAC. Only events occurring during Summer 2014 are eligible. Mid-semester reflections are happening in the UMBC Commons this week.
Note that other seminars (occurring at your worksite or elsewhere) may also be eligible for substitution, however, you will need to contact your coordinator in advance for permission and then provide a short write-up of the event via email after the fact.
5. The remaining assignments: Student Evaluation, Placement Evaluation and Semester Report Tabs and Performance Evaluation are all due on Wednesday, August 13. These are accessed by clicking on the grey titles to the right of your experience on the Exp. Learning homepage.
The Performance Evaluation worksheet will be sent as an electronic form to the supervisor whose email you list on the Basic Info tab. If your supervisor prefers to complete this form in hard copy, you can find this document in the Documents Library of UMBCworks or in the Career Services Center myUMBC group.
