Fieldwork
For a course to be designated as “Fieldwork”, satisfying the University Engaged Learning requirement, it must meet all the following criteria. Criteria for field work courses are based on research and best practices in experiential learning:
- The field work (clinical placement, practicum) must be approved by the faculty instructor, as it is the extension of the classroom and applying knowledge gained in the classroom.
- The academic course in which students engage in the field work clearly states the hours requirement (minimum of 100 hours of work).
- The field work experience is with a professional organization related to their field of study, educational goals and/or career and vocational aspirations.
- The learning objectives related to the field work experience are clearly articulated related to their field of study, educational goals and/or career and vocational aspirations.
- There is supervision and feedback by a professional with expertise related to their field of study, educational goals and/or career and vocational aspirations.
- The syllabus assignments include reflection assignments and a final synthesis project integrated into the course.
All courses that have been approved to satisfy the Engaged Learning University Requirement are designated with an "E" appended to their section number, e.g. ANTH 301 01E. Comprehensive listings of all approved Engaged Learning classes offered each semester can be found in LOCUS.
