Internship in English studies (Capstone Experience)
About
This course offers students a capstone learning experience by allowing them to take their classroom knowledge into the community. Students will have an opportunity for experiential learning, earn credits toward their degree, and engage in a rich experience while working in an organization that demonstrates a real impact on society. Grasping this opportunity will be a challenge: students are responsible for identifying and securing a suitable internship opportunity, in consultation with the course coordinator, and they have to demonstrate their capability to turn a work placement into a learning experience for the major. The duration of the internship will depend on the arrangement between the student and the organization or company, but should involve at least 120 contact hours of service. Please note that the School only accepts work in office arrangement, while work from home arrangement is not accepted. Assessment will be made on a pass/fail basis, based on participation in coursework including written report, as well as feedback from the organization contact.
