Indicator
ITED 4390 Internship Evaluation
All students enrolled in the program must complete ITED 4390 in their final year of enrollment. ITEC 4390 addresses key concepts and skills relevant to the field of design. Each semester interns will be evaluated by their internship supervisor and by their faculty supervisor on a faculty-developed rating scale.
Criterion
80% Meeting Expectations
There will be a general consensus among ITEC Faculty members who review both university and internship supervisor assessments that at least 80% of the students enrolled in ITED 4390 demonstrated an above average level of performance on the rating scales.
Finding
