How is an internship evaluated?
Sociology internships are graded based on progress toward goals established in the learning contract and the student’s performance. While the faculty advisor determines the final grade, field supervisors and student interns are asked to recommend a grade. Students take the internship very seriously and perform well, receiving high evaluations from their supervisors. An internship is much more demanding than a volunteer experience and must be thought of as similar to a job in terms of the time and performance expected.
