Intended Outcomes for the course

.

Course Activities and Design

This course of student 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 Sociology. Activities
must be agreed upon by all who are associated with the designed course of study,
with specific activities clearly associated with objectives the student is seeking
to achieve. All relevant forms must be properly filled out 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 Sociology 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 Sociology instructor will assign
all final grades.
 

Course Content (Themes, Concepts, Issues and Skills)

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 Sociology.
