As you prepare for your Practical
Work Experience, there are a few things you may want to consider:
1. Make sure you have registered for the course
(FYC 4941)
the same semester you lined up your practical work experience.
2. Identify who your supervisor will be for your practicum. At the end of your practical work experience, you will be required to submit a letter from your supervisor verifying your completion of the needed hours.
3. Develop the goals and objectives you wish to accomplish during your work experience. Reevaluate your goals throughout your practicum and add and delete items as necessary.
4. Keep a daily journal of events. This needs to be a few sentences each day providing us with an idea of what you are encountering on a daily basis. This will also be your way of tracking your progress toward meeting your goals.
5. Make notes throughout your experience on how your work relates to our major.
These few tips should help you get the most out of your experience and prepare you for writing your final report.
