Addendum to Course Description

Credits from this course of study do not qualify for general education purposes at Portland Community College, but may be applied as electives towards satisfying Associate Degrees at Portland Community College.

While a textbook or similar supplement is often not required for cooperative education experiences, such materials may be required at the discretion of the instructor in consultation with the Cooperative Education specialist on any particular PCC campus.

Intended Outcomes for the course

The final learning outcomes associated with any particular course of co-operative education study are explicitly listed as "goals" on the cooperative education forms used on each PCC campus. These goals or objectives must be agreed upon (via signatures) by the student, the Field Supervisor, the Cooperative Education Specialist, and the Instructor Specialist in Psychology.

Course Activities and Design

This course is designed by the student in consultation with his/her chosen Field Supervisor, the Cooperative Education Specialist on a particular PCC campus, and the designated Instructor Specialist in Psychology.

Activities must be agreed upon by all who are associated with the designed course of study, and specific activities clearly associated with objectives the student is seeking to achieve. All relevant forms must be properly completed and signed, as specified on each PCC campus.

Outcome Assessment Strategies

This course of study is normally graded on a Pass/No Pass basis with the Instructor Specialist in Psychology providing an A-F grade only if such is undertaken by arrangement: A-F grades may have additional requirements (paper assignments, journals, assigned readings, etc.) by agreement between the student and instructor. A Pass/No Pass grade is normally based upon the completed evaluation made by the Field Supervisor and an on-site visit undertaken by either the Cooperative Education Specialist or the instructor (as agreed upon between the specialist and the instructor). The Psychology instructor will assign all final grades.
