BIO 460 & 461, Internship in Biology, Fall 2011

Abstract

Internships are arranged through Sandi George Tracy in Career Services, overseen by the department internship advisor (Dr. Alan Jaslow), and supervised by an on-site sponsor(s). The Internship in Biology has both experiential and academic components. In addition to your work on-site, you need to keep a journal of your activities, and for 460 students produce a paper, or other agreed upon product. The grade for this course is pass/fail and it does NOT count as upper level Biology credit toward the major requirements. However, it does provide course credits toward the total required for graduation. Details on these assignments, and due dates, follow below. It is your responsibility to keep up with these duties and announced deadlines. Your passing grade in this class depends on this. This isn’t just me being picky and strict. Remember, internships are in part to give real life experience and training. In the work place, employment, advancement, and recommendations, will be determined in part or greatly from your professionalism. Paying attention to such timeline and assignment details independent of reminders, even over long periods of time, will be very important.
