Tips For Writing Internship-Oriented Learning Objectives 1. Identify a single key result for each of the objectives. Give the day and the month of estimated completion. State the verifiable criteria which mark when the objective has been reached. Student Interns commit to agreed upon job duties just as any other employee.
Interns also commit to a specific number of hours of work per week or per semester.
Sometimes these commitments vary from the University's minimum requirements for course credit. Be sure to discuss the contract terms of agreement and obligations with the student prior to hiring the intern. Typically, students enroll for 3 units of Internship course work per term, or 120 hours of work over a 3-4 month period. For each unit of credit, the student must complete a minimum of 40 hours of work at the enloyment site. Because Chapman encourages exposure to a variety of work settings, no more than 3 units of credit may be taken with a single employer during the term.
