Evaluating Contract Students

Sponsor Evaluations of Individual Learning and Internship Learning Contract Students

All faculty / staff sponsors will receive copies of the contracts they are carrying this quarter sent from the Academic Deans Office. Copies of the contracts will be sent to you with guidelines explaining the updates for writing evaluations of contract students. The guidelines are listed below:

At the beginning of the quarter
Faculty/Staff sponsors should connect with student regarding:

1. Getting an electronic copy of their internship/individual contract so you have an electronic version available to you when you write the evaluation.
2. Including a writing assignment within the Activities section of the internship/individual contract for the student to write a contract description at the end of the quarter; or plan to write the contract description together at the evaluation conference.
3. Getting the Field Supervisor's email address and making sure the student gives the Field Supervisor yours.*
   
   

*There is an updated internship form that is being used by students this year. There are spaces for student, faculty, and field supervisor's email addresses. In order to consolidate previously separate forms the internship form will now be two pages and will include the disclaimer language within the internship contract form facilitating a more efficient process for Academic Advising.

At the end of the quarter
When writing the evaluation Faculty/Staff Sponsors should:

1. Include a "Contract Description," which explains what the student did over the quarter. All descriptions of contracts should include a title for the contract (which should be mutually agreed upon by student and faculty) that is bolded within the description. This section includes student's activities, learning objectives, books read, movies reviewed, etc.
2. Include Field Supervisor evaluation comments within your evaluation of the student by cutting and pasting or typing excerpts from the evaluation emailed from the Field Supervisor.

Faculty/Staff sponsors will receive a copy of all of the contracts they are carrying from the Deans and Academic Advising Offices early in the quarter.
