Evaluation is based on successful completion of the work plan arranged with your advisor and site supervisor. Your supervisor will be asked to submit a written evaluation of your performance at the site. This, along with periodic progress reports and a cumulative final report will provide your advisor with the material needed to grant you credit for the course. It should also include notes relaying your evaluation of the progress you've made towards fulfilling the goals and objectives of the course. You should also provide your advisor with copies of any work produced for your supervisor.
Internships require the participation of a faculty advisor.
There may be a faculty member you particularly like to work with or there may be a faculty member whose Latin American Studies interests closely correspond to your internship interests. In some cases, the Program coordinator may also double as your faculty advisor. In either case, you must solicit the support of a faculty member who will work with you in preparing the work plan, providing orientation reading, responding to your questions and progress reports, if necessary, reading your final report, and evaluating your internship for credit. Look upon your faculty advisor as the instructor for your internship course. All the same, be aware that most of your learning activity will take place independently and in response to the directives of your site supervisor.
