We are currently working on developing exchange agreements so that our students have low-cost opportunities to study in other countries. If interns work on special projects, the overall contact teaching hours will be reduced accordingly. For each hour in the formal classroom, interns will be allotted preparation and grading time. The remaining hours of the 40 hour work week will be committed to project hours. Interns are required to participate in regular faculty meetings and may be required to teach Saturday classes.
Interns have the opportunity to be integrally involved within the development of the department.
Last year, one of our interns created our departmental web page and all the interns worked on curriculum and textbook design. To date we have created 6 class texts. On a personal note, I think we are very fortunate to have our interns living with this family. They are incredibly wonderful people and have always been excellent resources for our interns. We consider them to be the interns host family.
