All students are required to complete a one-credit seminar capstone experience. This experience is coupled with an internship course. During the internship students are using learned skills in a work setting, and the on-site supervisor and faculty instructor are evaluating the student's performance. Students participating in the paraprofessional experience receive written and verbal feedback from head teachers as well as their supervisor. Additionally students must complete a video tape of performance in the classroom, and participate in mid-term and final conferences with the head teacher and supervisor.
Students receive a mid-term and final evaluation.
Students participate in written format through journals, research papers, and critique of research articles. Abstracts, semester written projects, and oral presentations are assessed by faculty, and many times immediate feedback is given. These are graded according to the quality and understanding of the assignment and project. Other faculty are invited to the oral presentations to give additional feedback to students. From the freshman year on, students are expected to learn how to use electronic presentation formats.
