Learning by Doing

Learning by doing represents a valuable educational experience for all students.
This course provides an opportunity to reflect on an internship or other
fieldwork experience and to integrate that experience with key learning outcomes
expected in a student’s major. Through class meetings and short essays, students
will document the work undertaken during the internship, how it relates to prior
coursework, and its relationship to possible career paths; reflect on the
positive and less good aspects of the internship experience; identify new skills
