LJ: London Journalism Internship Tutorial
Internship Tutorial Overview
Internship Tutorials will offer students the opportunity to meet with each other and a member of faculty in order to reflect upon their internship experience. Since your London placement is an academic course, in addition to performing a role in a British organization, you must also meet a number of academic requirements to successfully complete the placement. During your Tutorial you will be required to produce coursework related to your internship. The quality of your work on these requirements will account for your final grade.
The Internship Tutorials will meet on three occasions; the first meeting near the last Core class, the second meeting during week nine, and the third meeting during week twelve.
Course Objectives
• To encourage students to make connections between their internships and what they have learned in the related core course
• To provide clear guidelines on the Internship Course assessment process
• To provide assistance in successfully completing the Internship Course assessment process
