The course will include lecture, lab and seminar components, with frequent guest speakers to enhance networking and learning opportunities. In the seminar, students will be expected to share their findings, experiences and writing. Students will also be expected to attend and report on arts and cultural activities during the term. At least one one-on-one interview with the instructor will be required, with discussion focused on career development accomplishments and plans.
Students will demonstrate their mastery of course material through assignments, involvement in group work, and participation in a public event (e.g., portfolio show, presentation) at the end of term.
Students write "statements of commitments" to help them identify specific professional goals and report on their progress toward those goals.
Students are expected to be self-motivated and to demonstrate professionalism, which includes active participation, good attendance, punctuality, effective collaboration, ability to meet deadlines, presentation skills, and accurate self-evaluation.
Evaluation will be based on this general format:
| Individual/group projects (3) | 30% |
| Statements of commitment (i.e., contracts) (3) | 30% |
| Portfolio development and presentation | 30% |
| Professionalism/participation (as defined above) | 10% |
