Course Activities and Design
Students will begin by observing activities at the placement site. During the second week of placement they will meet with their mentors to determine appropriate tasks for them.
Beginning with the third week of placement interns will, with the permission of their mentors and Deaf consumers, gradually begin to take over these tasks until they can function independently in the setting.
Outcome Assessment Strategies
On-site evaluation by internship instructor. At least one Deaf and one hearing evaluator should be used. Weekly journals and written assignments will also be evaluated, although onsite evaluations will constitute the primary means of assessment. Students must earn a total of 90 hours to receive credit for the course.
