Students must abide by policies in the Student Handbook and the CCBOE Acceptable Use Policy. As Interns the students must fulfill the terms of the Internship Contract as well.

CLASS EXPECTATIONS

Above and beyond school policies intern conduct must meet the highest standards of courtesy and respect. Interns must complete "project tickets" to receive credit for work performed. Courtesy and encouragement toward every class member is required. If you miss class, it is your responsibility to check with a fellow classmate to find out what was covered or what announcements were made.

INSTRUCTIONAL PROCEDURES

The primary methods of instruction will be demonstrations and projects. Sometimes projects will require working with other interns. Students/interns will make presentations based on some of their projects. The presentations will be scored as well as the projects. Completion of all assignments on time is required.

Students/interns who do not complete a project report on time will be given a zero on the project.  Students/interns may request an extension of the time available for a project provided they make the request at least 1 day before they are due.
