No letter grade is given because the academic supervisor is not in a position to observe apprenticeship activity. During the semester prior to the apprenticeship placement, the student, academic supervisor, and agency supervisor must meet to discuss the expectations of each person and to arrange times when the student will work at the agency. Early entries should cover the student's expectations, fears, and hopes for the apprenticeship. Attendance at weekly supervision sessions with the academic supervisor. Supervision will involve discussion of current challenges, solutions, successes, and failures in the agency.
Time is also devoted for skill-building and for applying material learned in previous courses.
Two long papers are due at the end of the semester on topics to be agreed upon by the student and academic supervisor. These papers will involve library research. A partial list of agencies in the Delaware area that are interested in apprenticeship students is given below. It should be stressed that this is only a partial list and if something interests you which does not appear on the list, do not rule it out. Keep it in mind and ask any faculty member about the possibility.
